This will ensure connectivity and bring about more people to join the Board and overall IIGL Community.

Weil then outlines an eight-week program in which you’ll discover:
The truth about spontaneous healing and how it interacts with the mind
The foods, vitamins, supplements, and tonic herbs that will help you enhance your innate healing powers
Advice on how to avoid environmental toxins and reduce stress
The strengths and weaknesses of conventional and alternative treatments

Make A Difference
Dream Team 22
Please join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 22 people contributing $22 per month. We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month – especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks’ salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2021!
Please join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL! You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money. To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below. To become a member of the Dream Team 22 by committing 22 second a day to help us hold the vision, contact Deb for details: drosen2@wi.rr.com
