This year the lTS have progressed
in our aim to establish a permanent
home ofour own in the "Sea Cloud Temple" by renting a building
in Playa
San Juan, Tenerife Spain which we believe will help increase
membership
and aid fundraising
to allow us to move from renting to
purchasing
our own property
in the long term.
The main focus this year was setting up the Sea Cloud Temple
in
Tenerife from which
live, online clas~es can be practised
with participants
joining
in classes from wherever they may be. This has been much
appreciated
by more isolated participants.
With the end of Covid restrictions we have been delighted
to return to in-
person classes however
many teachers have reported
reduced numbers
ofparticipants
as some people are still nervous
ofgathering
indoors with
others. Toaddress this the lTS has offered financial support to help
teachers re-establish
and grow their classes as well as technical

support.
The experience ofmoving
all classes online during
Covid restrictions
was
a steep learning
curve but several teachers have used this experience to
expand their classes and are teaching
in person and online —often in
the
same class. We aim to spread these innovative
practises throughout
the
organisation
and are including
this in our teacher training.
The ITSis grateful to the volunteers
who give their time and expertise
free ofcharge.
