The Art and Science of the Paranormal II: The Hidden World-Valcartier Family Centre
Apr 12 @ 6:00 AM – 8:00 AM
The Art and Science of the Paranormal II:  The Hidden World
The human experience is largely defined by our five senses and the brief lives we’re granted to enjoy them. But, what if there’s more to existence than what the physical world has to offer? In this session, we’ll extend our initial discussion to aspects of Extrasensory Perception (ESP) and the Afterlife. Does ESP exist? Is it demonstrable? What about existence after death? Over half the session will be dedicated to your own views, experiences and abilities. The only requirement for attending this session is an open mind. Come consider the possibilities.
Date: Wednesday April 12th ,2017
Time: 10h00-12h00
Where: Valcartier Family Centre, 1039 avenue Wolfe,
Ste. Foy, (QC) G1V3J9
