INVITATION
Dear Colleagues
and Friends,
On behalf of the three official
national SCENAR Societies of
Bulgaria, Ireland and the UK,
we have pleasure in inviting
you to take part in the 1st
International SCENAR Training
Holiday.
The main goals of this joint
event are:
To provide the international
Scenar community with maximally
effective information within
the flexible context of CPD
/ CPE (continual professional
development and education).
To offer a combination of professional
benefit and relaxation –
through a wide-ranging exchange
of knowledge and experience
arising from the direct contact
between people sharing common
ideals, combined with a wonderful
summer holiday at the seaside.
To promote the development of
international SCENAR co-operation
and the interaction among SCENAR-practitioners
from all over the world.
To plan and co-ordinate future
activities for the achievement
of the great goal – for
SCENAR therapy to acquire, world-wide,
the position of a serious, distinct
and prestigious healing discipline
in the field of complementary
and alternative medicine.
We are sure that you will find
your visit to Bulgaria both
fruitful and extremely entertaining;
we will certainly consider it
a privilege and pleasure to
welcome you in Varna in June.
