A Road Trip to
the Centre!
 Transform
what may seem like a long drive into a wonderful time of
sharing, laughter and learning. What’s more, your drive
will come at a bargain price!
Gather together at least two other people to travel with
you to a Calling Lakes event and we will pay 50% of your
actual travel costs if requested!
We know that traveling with others in the cocoon of a
car can open up all sorts of conversational topics. After
the event you can talk about it with others from your area
and best of all — after you are home, you will not be
alone. There will be other people who may share your
excitement about what you discovered and learned on your
Road Trip to the Centre.
Please note: Road Trip offer does not apply to one
day events. |
