Dear Friends,

Thanks to all of you for you interest in the Institute of Noetic sciences and for attending one or more of our events with Dr. Marilyn Mandala Schlitz a few weeks ago at Bastyr University. It was really a pleasure to meet and interact with all of you.

I wanted to follow-up with a few concrete ways that you can stay connected to more deeply engage with our "Noetic community:"

Become a Member of IONS, or if you are already a member, consider upgrading your membership level! We invite you to explore the many ways that you can be involved with us. Options include:

Becoming a Shift In Action Partner, at $10/month, where you gain access to weekly LIVE teleseminars & 3 new pieces of audio content each week, get a quarterly CD mailed to you--along with Shift, our quarterly magazine, plus an annual book, invitations to our meetings and conferences, and access to our network of community groups--not to mention supporting our organization to grow and flourish each month!

Becoming a higher level donor. Please contact me for a live conversation to discuss the ways you would like to support IONS.
