Join Us for the 2008 European Tour!

The North Carolina Renaissance Faire and the Historical Enrichment Society will be leading our third educational tour to England and Ireland in 2008. The tour will be operated in cooperation with the Cultural Heritage Alliance (CHA), the oldest educational tour operator in the US, with over three decades of experience in organizing educational tours.

Participating in an educational tour offers a variety of benefits for both young and old. Travel adds expanded views of the world and changed perspectives on yourself and your own culture. Direct exposure to a foreign culture can equal months of classroom or individual study. Participants will develop a stronger appreciation and interest in history, literature, and the arts. For young people and students, an educational tour can also, sometimes, accrue academic credit and improve changes for college admission.

The tour we've developed is an exciting 9 day itinerary covering a variety of destinations including London, Stonehenge, Westminster Abbey, Windsor Castle, Avebury, Trafalgar Square, and more! The tour includes round-trip air transportation, hotel accomodations in three- and four-star hotels, breakfast and dinner daily, in-depth sightseeing, and a full-time professional tour director who will accompany the tour from start to finish. A representative of NCRF/HES will also accompany participants on the trip.

We are pleased to invite you to travel with us! Fill out our online interest form or attend one of our tour orientation meetings at which you may receive more details and view an informational video.

The Rhine Research Center is devoted to answering the fundamental questions we all ask about life: What happens after death? Can we all perceive beyond the five senses? Can psychics diagnose illness? How does healing happen? Do very successful business people use psychic abilities? What can we do to enhance our own intuition? If you are one of the large percentage of the general public interested these questions or one of the small percentage of scientists who have spent time investigating the answers, this conference will interest you. Listen to the latest findings by consciousness researchers, hear psychics describe their intuitive experiences and meet others interested in this exciting field.

The conference featured keynote addresses by:
The Stargate Chronicles with Joe McMoneagle,
The Gift, with Dr. Sally Rhine Feather and
The Crack in the Cosmic Egg with Joseph Chilton Pearce.
