+From [http://quovadisgathering.org/QVbrochure.pdf a brochure]:
+"
+Quo Vadis is an annual event that draws together adults interested in education
+that is empowering. We seek to bring together those who believe education is
+an enviable opportunity to be pursued
+over a lifetime rather than a passing
+obligation. We maintain that the
+essential foundations of meaningful
+learning lie not in the institution but the
+individual; actively seeking knowledge
+and consequently finding it everywhere.
+Originally founded as a retreat for self-
+taught, home schooled, or unschooled
+young adults Quo Vadis' scope is
+expanding. We seek to facilitate an event
+where young and old, traditionally and
+non-traditionally educated, parents,
+college students, and educators can all
+meet, network, and learn from one
+another. It is partly a social event with
+time for games and one on one
+conversations, partly a conference with
+participant-led workshops as eclectic as
+the participants themselves, partly a
+retreat set in the Siuslaw National Forest
+area, and partly an ongoing experiment.
+It is wholly a place for those interested
+in exploring the meaning and practice of
+education with others.
