    Greetings....
    Simply put the National is where all family try to gather from all around at one time, same time each year in July in different parts of the country that the family decide on......really regionals are the same thing but they are in specific area the same time each year....hope that helps clarify for you sister...blessings to you.....

    The main difference between regionals and the National Gathering is SIZE! A state/regional gathering can have anywhere from 50 people to a few thousand i suppose.

    A regional may have only one "local" kitchen to feed the entire gathering. Or it could have a couple "local" kitchens, a travelling kitchen, coffee or tea spot... up to having ten or more full kitchens, a few cafes, 4 or 5 coffee/tea spots, a yoga spot or 2, a Krishna camp...

    At a National, folks from all the regions... and all the travellers as well show up together... meaning 40-50 kitchens, as many smaller cafes, 10-20 coffee/tea spots, several yoga spots, couple massage spots, raging A camp, 1/4 mile trade circle, tipis and tipi villages, dozens of wingnuts, sweatlodges, full camps just for supply/shitter, Welcome Home, Kid Village etc...(and more).
