Dear Members and Friends of the Anthroposophical Society,
One month is left until our gathering of hearts, minds, and spirits on a biodynamic, off-grid farm near Gimli, Manitoba, Canada. We are excited that more and more people are making up their minds to join us in person for this unique event. At the same time, we have been working on options for remote participation for those who are not able to travel to the festival site. Here is what we are offering:
Recordings: All four keynote addresses and three of the evening performances will be recorded and uploaded to a private YouTube channel to which registrants will have access. We hope to get recordings uploaded by the end of each day.
Participation on Zoom: Virtual participants will receive invitations to join the Zoom components of the festival. These will also be recorded and participants will be sent a link to the recordings.
The registration fee for the entire online package is $100 (CAD). Please click here to register.
We are hoping to see many of you in August in person or on Zoom!
Warmly,
Kim Hunter
Festival Manager
