The United States Spiritist Council will host the ninth US Spiritist Symposium on May 2, 2015, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Marriott Hotel and Spa in Stamford, CT. The event will feature national and international speakers, presentations and workshops on a variety of topics, including “art through mediumship,” “spirit communications and manifestations,” and “instructions from the beyond.”

According to the council, this symposium is intended as a resource for those who wish to take their lives to a new level of self-awareness and purpose. Participants will gain insight into scientific research and spirituality and will have the opportunity to learn about profound self-inquiry techniques. Event organizers say one of its highlights will be a session that explores art and spirituality; subjects such as “mysterious drawings through mediums,” “poetry by spirits,” and Mozart’s new piano sonata will be discussed through the light of science and spiritism.

Kids aged 6 to 15 are welcome to participate in a day of special activities facilitated by spiritist educators.

The Marriott Hotel and Spa is located at 243 Tresser Blvd., Stamford, CT. For info and registration, visit SpiritualityNow.net.
