SUMMARY:Online 2021
DESCRIPTION:The 2021 ISF Mind\, Body & Spirit Week\, the ISF’s annual education and training conference\, is going online this year!\nWe had been hopeful that an in-person event would be possible this year but with the current challenges for people traveling from other countries the ISF Committee had sadly concluded that we must postpone an in-person event once again. The good news is that we will still be offering a series of classes\, workshops and demonstrations during that same time but online via Zoom. The online dates are 8-13 August 2021.\nThe ISF annual events are very special\, bringing together like-minded people to share\, learn and to socialise together. The events also give the opportunity for members to liaise with other Spiritualists who might be following a similar path\, giving the chance to share problems and solutions. At our gatherings\, the important factor is the inclusive atmosphere in learning. We may all come from different parts of the globe\, but in learning together\, we all benefit for our experience and knowledge. And we know this happens whether we are in-person together or online in a Zoom session!
