She founded, along with Chip Chipman, the Three Principles School located in Salt Spring Island, BC.(See her bio below). In this episode, Elsie tells us about some of her early experiences with Sydney Banks to then touch on the source of insight. You will hear what she feels is the relevance of Syd’s role as this understanding continuous to globally expand. About Elsie Spittle -  From homemaker, to global consultant and mentor of leading Three Principles practitioners, Elsie Spittle has devoted her life to sharing this transformative mental health paradigm with the world.
