2015 Conference Postponed to Focus our Efforts
As the November 2015 conference approached, the Board of Directors realized that our attention was divided between establishing ACISTE as a broader community endeavor and preparing for an annual conference. We voted to postpone the conference until next year to focus on putting the people in place to run ACISTE’s ongoing operations. We have added volunteers who are creating a newsletter, doing accounting and bookkeeping, and updating our website. Board members have been networking with similar organizations to establish a worldwide network of support for experiencers of spiritual transformation. We continue to offer and staff a Support Directory of ACISTE Certified Mental Health Professionals, Spiritual Guidance Counselors, and Life and Support Coaches. Our support and discussion groups include an active online forum. Your Board meets monthly as do ACISTE Certified Mental Health Professionals. This website, our newsletter and forum will provide updates shortly on these activities.
