Seminar Series:
Introduction to the year 2004 program

Welcome to this guide to what is on offer in 2004 for the Institute for Spiritual Studies.

Once again, we offer you a varied fare, including both full day and evening sessions. We are delighted to have the assistance of so many excellent speakers.

Our program is a central part of the outreach of St Peter's Eastern Hill. We hope that you will find in several of the following seminars what you are seeking. Our aim is to encourage those who are travellers with us on the way of the spiritual life.

Our thanks to Jan Gordon-Clark and her fine team–many people work to make all this possible. But we know it is worth it when we get a good response.

So spread the word, check out the website here, or our e-list, for new and unexpected developments in case they occur. We look forward to your company through this coming year.
