Calendar of Events
We are happy to now be able to offer education in animal hospice care worldwide via our SPIRITS in Transition Online Classes. Besides participants from throughout the United States and Canada we have also had animal lovers join us from Europe, Australia and Japan. We all share the same passion, and the wonderful feed back we are getting from everyone is heart warming!
SPIRITS in Transition Online Class Part 1 is released in full (10 sessions). The Part 2 sessions are anticipated to be published consecutively every month or two, starting in March 2012.
You can begin taking the class, starting with Part 1 at any time and access the sessions as it fits your own schedule. Completion of both Parts 1 and 2 is equivalent to attending a weekend seminar.
If you are interested in attending our live weekend seminar in May 2012 in Westwood, MA, make sure to let us know at office@spiritsintransition.org.
We over the last years have expanded our weekend seminar by a whole day - without changing the price! The event now starts at 2:00 pm on Friday and end Sunday around 5:00 pm and include evening events both on Friday as well as Saturday for those participants interested in attending. Fees do not include lodging or meals.
