We are pleased to report that our 2024 summer seminar that was held on July 25th to July 27th in London, England, was a smashing success! Taking place in the October Gallery in the Bloomsbury section of town, the seminar was led by Mary P. Lahman, Lance Strate, Dom Heffer, Peggy Cassidy, and Nora Bateson, with twenty participants taking the course. The theme was Navigating the Now: A Guide to Recognizing What is Going On, and the course served as an introduction to general semantics, while also incorporating some innovative topics and exercises. Here now are some photos taken during the 3-day seminar:
