The Spiritist Symposium is Almost Here!
|
|
|
|

This year's theme, "Life Through the Lens of Immortality," focuses on the philosophical aspect of Spiritism and features 23 different speakers. And there's a special program for children and teens from 4-17 years of age. What's not to like?

The program takes place on Saturday (9/21), but Spiritist workers and volunteers are also welcome to attend a USSF mixer sponsored by the Spiritist Institute on Sunday morning following the event to get to know Spiritists from all over the country and beyond! We hope to see you there!

LEND A HAND & GET ENGAGED
|
|
|
Looking for ways to get engaged and help?
- Plenitude Spiritist Society has an ambitious plan to build its new headquarters in Orlando, Florida. The vast majority of Spiritist groups in the United States rent the space they operate in, and Plenitude hopes to buy land and be one of the first to buck that trend. They are fundraising and asking for your help. Any amount works.
- The Spiritist Radar is looking for volunteers! Do you have a passion for communicating, curating, drafting, or editing content? Do you have a couple of hours a month to help us reach thousand of subscribers? Reply to volunteer to help us produce future editions of The Spiritist Radar! We could use your help. ;)
