| As a clear tribute to the amazing, loving being who was here with us for almost ninety years, and who continues to be with us as the divine spirit which reminded so many of their true nature and of the love which connects us all, Isa Lindwall's journey home was celebrated around the planet in many different ways. |
| In his home town of Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA, about a hundred family and friends gathered from the US and Europe for Isa's memorial service on Sunday April 22, 2007. As Lindwall Foundation Executive Director Jeannie Whyte writes: "At the end, Yolanda spoke and we sang together 'I Release and I Let Go' and Gina (Yolanda's daughter) led everyone dancing down the aisle around the room in celebration of our wonderful Isa. It was the best it could have been for such a devoted and loving man. I think all funeral services need to be a celebration like this." |

Around the US, from New York to San Francisco, groups came together to remember Isa. On the island of Hawaii, a group gathered on Kailua Beach and laid out a flower wreath lei in the form of a heart on the sand, thanking Isa for the love and light he had brought into their lives, and kissing him with the sun not far from the sea which he loved so much.

In Germany groups gathered in various locations in remembrance of Isa. One group had a two hour candlelight ceremony, which concluded with sending the light into the sky in the form of sparklers attached to heart-shaped balloons. (Click on photos for bigger images.) |

| Perhaps the greatest tribute to the inspiration which Isa, together with his beloved wife and partner Yolanda, brought through life, work and example, is in the many ways that Releasing not only continues, but also grows and expands around the world. Isa rejoiced to hear of these activities right up until the moment of his passing. Ongoing activities by the Lindwall Foundation include: |
