The 2021 Gathering…

Join the Virtual Gathering of Holistic Centers 3-6 May 2021. Invite your entire staff to participate in the various sessions of our annual event as we host online for the second year during this time of pandemic.

We hold the vision of a Hybrid Gathering next year, being able to meet again in person and continue with the virtual aspect for wider reach and access to the wisdom in the network.

We believe Centers are in ‘the long game’ of transformation. Our theme this year is re-emergence and resilience. Come together as we move through four days of heartfelt, practical and innovative conversations designed to deepen our collective impact.

Network of Light Meditation

Our global meditation to strengthen the network is every Thursday 2pm GMT.

We invite you to join Insight Timer and actively contribute to more stillness in the world.

When you join Insight Timer you become part of a world-wide community of more than 950,000 meditators in 130 countries.
