Nitpick/question: The 'rationality camps' seem to have been renamed to 'retreats'. Why is this? A 'retreat' brings to mind religious connotations (and OED confirms this), and seems to augment phygish impressions.

Agree. Retreats is a terrible name.

Convention? Conference? Session? Intensive course?

I like 'course' most of these.

'Conference' sounds like a bunch of specialist in one place to discuss some stuff.

'Course' indicates training, with I suppose, is the goal.

Boot camp, like the first one was called?

I prefer "conference".

Residential seminar?

Seems like it could be read as 'a seminar on residences.' I was just confused when I read it.
