40th CMG
May 25-29, 2001
Camp Shalom, Malibu, CA
Theme: Each By All The Others Held
Head Count: 300; Camp Capacity: 300

The 40th CMG Theme was about community, and learning to grow in community. A large old military parachute was opened over the attendees, with symbols painted on it, depicting different aspects of life, inspired by Zen. At the closing Ceremony, the parachute was lowered, and scissors were given to attendees--they were told to "cut your way out to life!" Memorial Day became the weekend for the Spring CMG, from the 40th Gathering to the present.
