Religious Science International’s Annual Conference at Asilomar
Celebrating Our Spiritual Magnificence
Conference Information
July 27 - August 2
2008 Conference Preview
Religious Science International’s vision statement is: Awakening Humanity to Its Spiritual Magnificence. Here at Asilomar, we have spent the past few years awakening to this truth, through Living the Science of Mind (2005), Emergence! (2006), and Transformation (2007).
In 2008 – it is time to Celebrating Our Spiritual Magnificence! That’s right, celebrate!! True Spirituality is not only about deepening our connection through personal growth and awareness. It is also about celebrating the beauty, joy, and love that is all around us!
Dr. Ernest Holmes wrote:
“There is a laughter of God – let’s laugh it. There is a song of the Universe – let’s sing it. There is a hymn of praise – let’s praise it. There is a joy, a beauty; there is a deep, abiding peace; let’s experience it.”
- Dr. Ernest Holmes
You are invited to experience Spirit in this way, from July 27 to August 2, at Asilomar 2008 – Celebrating Our Spiritual Magnificence!
Because RSI is transforming how and where we do conferences in 2009 (stay tuned for the exciting details), this is our opportunity to experience Asilomar like never before! We will honor our history and traditions, celebrate who we are right now, and set the stage for the next step of awakening humanity!
You can look forward to many of your favorite RSI speakers, musicians, and activities. The goal is to celebrate our traditions while setting us up for the next generation of conferences with a bang!
