| Pre-Conference – 2nd European Conference in Tallinn | Tidings — June 2019 — Index | Urantia Midwest Conference 2019 |
¶ Hosted by Finnish Urantia Association Members and Friends
14 – 16 July, 2019
For those of you staying longer in Tallinn-Estonia after the main conference there will be a post-conference organized by the Finnish Urantia Association members and friends.
There are only seven weeks left before the 2nd European Urantia Conference starts and everyone on the conference planning committee is working hard to make it a great conference; they are looking forward to welcoming you very soon to Estonia.
To make the total experience more complete after the 2nd European Conference we are organizing a post-conference for additional socializing and sightseeing among Urantia Book students. If you are interested in staying longer after the event, then check this out!
¶ Visa-Free Cruise to St. Petersburg
Visit the former capital of Russia, the city of Czars. St. Petersburg is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on earth and virtually any building in the large historic centre, threaded with canals dotted with baroque bridges, can be considered an attraction and indeed, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is a magical city, with a long list of major attractions. Its Hermitage Museum, housed in the Winter Palace of the Romanov Dynasty, is both one of the world’s greatest and oldest collections of art, treasure, and antiquities, and one of its most beautiful buildings.
¶ For Who
Open to everyone from all age groups who want to stay longer in Estonia and/or its neighboring countries after the 2nd European Urantia Conference. For us your age 18+ does not matter as long as you don’t mind hanging out with us.
