If you are a dreamer, come in
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by the fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who joined us this past weekend as ISD participated in our first ever virtual webinar, “Pathways to Calm & Inner Peace” in partnership with Light of Heart Sanctuary and Paula Petry.
Thanks to you it was an incredibly successful event....
On Saturday there were workshops in Sound Healing, Emotional Freedom Technique, Evidence of life after death, Managing Chronic Pain, Using your mind and heart to find inner calm and resilience, and an introduction to Automatic Writing.
The serene day of healing concluded with a relaxing yoga session.
Sunday morning kicked off with another yoga class, leading us into a beautiful ISD service, and the summit finished off with a terrific workshop on Clearing the Effects of Electromagnetic Stress and Radiation.
For any of you that missed it the full webinar is available on YouTube (please ignore any ‘technical issues’!!).

We dream—it is good we are dreaming
We dream—it is good we are dreaming—
It would hurt us—were we awake—
But since it is playing—kill us,
And we are playing—shriek—
What harm? Men die—externally—
It is a truth—of Blood—
But we—are dying in Drama—
And Drama—is never dead—
Cautious—We jar each other—
And either—open the eyes—
Lest the Phantasm—prove the Mistake—
And the livid Surprise
Cool us to Shafts of Granite—
With just an Age—and Name—
And perhaps a phrase in Egyptian—
It’s prudenter—to dream—
------------
Emily Dickinson

Don't forget to join us every day at 5pm as we pause to pray and send our healing energies where they are most needed right now
Calling all ISD Energy Healers and Prayer Warriors
A message from Jo Ann Wormuth:
Our thoughts have great power. When we focus those thoughts in a group consciousness with a singular intention, miracles will happen.
As Director of the ISD Healing Program, I am seeking volunteers to come together as a family with a daily healing and prayer.
We will set an intention to transmute COVID 19 worldwide, pray for the well-being of our dear Mother Earth, and send healing to our friends and family members.
Each day at 5 PM EST, we will pause for about 10 minutes and meditate and pray with the intention of sending healing energy to all.
You do not have to be present each day. Requests for healing or suggestions should be submitted at the below ISD website l
