Max, there's never been an "open" lifecamp, except for the idea, which we've openly documented on the lifecamp wiki: http://lifecamp.pbwiki.com
The implementations (at least in the SF area) have been by private invitation only among close groups of friends - we've found that works best for allowing folks to feel comfortable to share the things that are the most meaningful and often vulnerable as well.
If you're interested in attending a LifeCamp - I strongly encourage you to organize one yourself, following the template provided on the wiki. Even with just one or two other friends you will get value out of it.
@kevnull - is that a request asking me to update the dates or a question asking if the dates were updated? In either case, Julie updated them to the 31st and 1st a while ago to make it easier for folks to take less explicit vacation time off work (since the 1st is typically a holiday).
Let's start the home cooked breakfast (migas!) at around 10am, ready by 11am (or earlier) - how does that sound? Will update wiki with a draft schedule...
