SMN Golden Jubilee Celebration – Visions of Interconnectedness in Science and Spiritual Wisdom (in-person & online event)

5th July 2023  

An in-person and live-streamed event to celebrate 50 years of the Scientific and Medical Network

Event description.

We warmly invite you to come in person or attend online to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the Network! We have put together a series of dialogues -interspersed with music – between distinguished Honorary Members around the overall theme of Visions of Interconnectedness in Science and Spiritual Wisdom in the context of our overall mission of connecting spirituality and science through education in ways that support transformational change and learning in our personal and professional lives.

As well as conversing on these themes, the speakers will reflect on significant changes in their fields and the role that the Network has played through its educational outreach by means of its conference programme, special interest groups and publications. We are including evensong at St Paul’s Cathedral in the programme (5 minutes’ walk away) as well as celebrating together with a delicious chocolate cake and toasting the Network with magnums of Prosecco. We look forward to you joining us for this historic day!

Please note: This hybrid event (in-person and online) is not included in the Season Ticket.
