NEW THIS YEAR: Adult/Young Adult Weekend
This year we’re excited to introduce something new for 2025! Building on the approach traditionally taken for Young Adult Weekend, we are now welcoming adults of any age; just for the weekend.
This new option is designed especially for young adults and returning SI community members who may not be able to get the whole week off. Registration includes participation in community programming but does not cover morning seminars. Good news: beds will be provided to all participants—no floor sleeping this year— with a choice of AC or no AC. Meals must be purchased directly from the cafeteria, which accepts credit cards.
This new option is included on the main registration form — and registration is open now!
Need a Scholarship to Attend?
Do you want to attend CERSI but don’t feel you have the finances to make it happen? Apply for a CERSI scholarship! We especially encourage first timers to apply and we do give them first consideration, but ALL attendees may apply and will be considered.
Please note: The scholarship deadline is now May 15.
