Thursday Evening Plenary:

Opening: Exploring the Noetic Tools and Technologies for a World Transforming

As we seek to live in our transforming world, we must draw on both wisdom and knowledge to grow in healthy and sustainable ways. Powerful insights and thoughtful direction arise through our individual reflections, collaborative inquiry, scientific breakthroughs, and our passion to cocreate a life-enhancing vision for our future. Let us explore together the tools and technologies we need to ground this shared vision.

Sunday Morning Plenary:

Closing: From Vision to Action

In this presentation, Schlitz will reflect on the collective wisdom and intelligence that has been explored during this conference. Together we will consider the following questions: What moved you? What new ideas were generated for you? How have you gained new insights into your worldviews, beliefs, and ways of engaging in the world? What are your next steps for deepening your personal transformation and that of the broader society? How can IONS support you in that process?
