Events for 2022 and 2023
*****COVID19 Announcement: Beginning at the November 2022 service, we will have in person services for those who are up to date with the vaccines. This will mean your 1st series, plus the latest version of the booster vaccine (currently bivalent). Find out your schedule and more info on https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2022/s1012-COVID-19-Vaccines.html
There may be further safety requirements depending upon the situation at the time. Everyone will be required to show their vaccine card at the door (a copy or ephoto of it is acceptable). If the Covid-19 situation changes, we will follow the CDC guidelines or be even more strict about contact. The Universal Temple of Spirits is taking Covid19 very seriously.
You may email firesong@globalspirits.org for more info on our events.
There may be updates to this, so please check back.
