Glastonbury Symposium goes live online
Andy is MC and co-organiser of the annual ‘Truth, Mysteries and New Frontiers’ event, the Glastonbury Symposium. Although the usual physical gathering has had to be postponed this year because of pandemic measures, the flame is being kept alive with a special online event instead, featuring some Symposium regulars and the eminent biologist Rupert Sheldrake…
Taking place on 25 July 2020, on what would usually be the middle day of the Symposium, this will be a five-hour series of live presentations in two sessions, morning and afternoon, conducted via Zoom or a similar platform, all for the bargain price of £20, which can be booked easily online here.
A number of Symposium familiars will be presenting, including Andy, Helen Sewell and Jason Porthouse. However, it will also feature the very special guest RUPERT SHELDRAKE, the renowned author, scientist and researcher – see below for details.
The full Glastonbury Symposium, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, will be restaged in 2021 instead, but in the meantime, the organisers look forward to welcoming people to this, the first online Symposium. Full details on this and what the Symposium is all about can be found at: www.glastonburysymposium.co.uk

DETAILS OF SPEAKERS:
RUPERT SHELDRAKE is a biologist and author of more than 90 scientific papers and nine books, and the co-author of six books. His books have been published in 28 languages. He was among the top 100 Global Thought Leaders for 2013, as ranked by the Duttweiler Institute, Zurich, Switzerland’s leading think tank. The leading researcher into theories of ‘morphic resonance’, since 1981 he has continued research on developmental and cell biology. He has also investigated unexplained aspects of animal behaviour, including how pigeons find their way home, the telepathic abilities of dogs, cats and other animals, and the apparent abilities of animals to anticipate earthquakes and tsunamis. He subsequently studied similar phenomena in people, including the sense of being stared at, telepathy between mothers and babies, telepathy in connection with telephone calls, and premonitions. Although some of these areas overlap the field of parapsychology, he approaches them as a biologist. Website: www.sheldrake.org
