The seminar will be held at Turkey Run State Park in Marshall, Indiana. The site is located on 2,382 acres of wooded hills in Parke County, Indiana, an area famous for its many covered bridges and unique natural heritage. The site is located just off State Road 47. Nearly adjacent to Turkey Run is a 67-acre private nature preserve under stewardship of Byron Fellowship Founder and instructor, Mark Boyce. This preserve serves as a natural living laboratory for Byron Fellowship. It is approximately one hour's drive from Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Lafayette, IN and Champaign, IL. Map to FCA
