The Toronto Spiritist Weekend (TSW) is a biennial meeting   where worldwide speakers come together to facilitate workshops about Spiritism. 

Spiritism is a science that studies the nature, origin and destiny of Spirits, as well as their relation with the corporeal world.” Allan Kardec (“What is Spiritism” – Preamble – 1859) 

The principles of Spiritism, codified by Allan Kardec, are founded on three aspects: Science, Philosophy and Religion: 

Science - “Spiritism is a science which studies nature, origin and the spirits’ destiny, as well as their relationship with the material world”. 

Philosophy - “Spiritism is a science of observation as well as a collection of philosophical teachings. The philosophy comprises all the moral consequences coming from these relationships”. 

Religion - From a religious point of view, Spiritism has the same fundamentals as all other religions: God, soul, immortality, punishment and future reward. Its objective is to prove to those that deny it, or are in doubt, that the soul exists, and that it survives and experiences after death, the consequences of the practice of good and evil while incarnated: the objective of all religions”. 

Our Mission

The Toronto Spiritist Weekend (TSW) started from a shy idea that began in 2007, and it has been growing with a great objective to unite the Spiritist centers in the Great Toronto Area (GTA). 

Objective

• We are dedicated to present the latest research and topics studied by spiritists – which include discussions on various concepts and practices of Spiritism – as well as addressing the scientific aspects of those studies in a simple and objective manner, with absolute fidelity from the Higher Spirits’ teachings with a great objective that information comes to all that are interested. Coming handy is a great opportunity for the Spiritists to exchange ideas and experiences. 

• Unite the Spiritist centers in the Great Toronto Area (GTA) and cities nearby.  After all, all Spiritist centers have the goal to bring Jesus´s teachings to help us become better people today and tomorrow, and it is always better doing it together. 

                        “Ten men united in one common thought are stronger than a hundred  who don’t understand each other.”      By Allan Kardec 

• The themes discussed on TSW are always relevant to actual problems lived by the community, bringing the Spiritism psychology, which is dedicated to disseminate Christian Spiritism and promote community development and humanitarian activities. 

Objective

This is a moment where we devote time to our kids and teenagers of the ages between 4 - 13 years, as well as to the parents. 

As we all may know, the main reason the spirit reincarnates is for re-education. Childhood is the most flexible and plastic phase of reincarnation. It is when the spirit is more receptive. Through gospel for kids’ classes, the spirit understands better the good practices, moral laws and achieves higher levels of spirituality forever.
