Co-sponsored by the Angels of the Angels, (who support those doing the work), the Reversion Directors, the Celestial Musicians, and the Conductors of Worship, IC26 will be an opportunity to deepen your connection with Our Father, recharge our spiritual batteries, grow in community, and be inspired by the seashore’s majesty.

The pre-conference retreat is sold out and conference hotel registrations are closed. You can still register as a commuter! | Asilomar Conference Grounds, located on the Monterey Coast, offers a peaceful setting for educational and spiritual retreat. Designed in the Arts and Crafts style by architect Julia Morgan, Asilomar honors the natural beauty of its coastal surroundings. The nearby shoreline is part of Asilomar State Beach and Marine Preserve, where visitors may see harbor seals, sea otters, and other coastal wildlife. Monterey Bay Aquarium, Pacific Grove Butterfly Sanctuary, redwood forests, and many other beloved destinations are also within reach. Asilomar is currently undergoing a $10 million rejuvenation, expected to be complete just before IC26 begins. We invite you to consider extending your stay and enjoying this sublime setting of sea, forest, fellowship, and worship in God’s outdoor cathedral. In nearby Monterey you will find the world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, The Pacific Grove Butterfly Sanctuary, and just up the coast, Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.
