- Julie Beischel, PhD
- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD
Dean Radin hosts this teleseminar with Dr. Julie Beischel, who performs rigorously controlled research investigating the accuracy of the information mediums report and systematic studies of their experiences during ostensible communication with the deceased. But are they really talking to the dead?

TeleseminarHistorical Roots of Noetic
- Speaker
- Mitch Horowitz
- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD
Noetic Sciences are not exclusively new but instead contain the esoteric core of all the world's religions, East and West, ancient and modern. During previous times of repression, the wisdom was hidden underground by various wisdom keepers. Mitch Horowitz describes how religious freedom in America provided safe harbor for such wisdom.

TeleseminarThe Science of Noetic Experience
- Speaker
- Daryl Bem, PhD
- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD
In science generally, a phenomenon is not considered a reliable fact until it has been observed repeatedly by numerous independent researchers. One criticism of parapsychology, the branch of science that studies psi phenomena, is that it has not produced a repeatable psi effect. Another criticism is that psi experiments have inadequate controls and safeguards. In 1974, an experimental procedure was developed that is now known to adequately address both of those criticisms. The "Ganzfeld experiment" provides an independently repeatable demonstration of telepathy under rigorously controlled conditions, and it has been repeatedly discussed in mainstream academic psychology journals. Several other classes of psi experiments have also achieved this level of credibility. To sign up, click here.

TeleseminarScience of Intuition
- Speaker
- Rupert Sheldrake, PhD
- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD
What is intuition? And how would you go about measuring it? Such questions may seem impossible to study, because one definition of intuition is "knowing without knowing how you know." But for over a century many experiments have been conducted exploring the nature of "unknown knowing," and we are beginning to understand this domain.

TeleseminarEvidence-Based Spirituality
Challenges to change
- Speaker
- Charles T. Tart, PhD
- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD
Given that it's reasonable to be both scientific and spiritual in approaching life, just exactly what does this mean? How do we apply the best of science and the best of spirituality to each other to work toward what Tart likes to call "evidence-based spirituality for the 21st century," a practical spirituality that works in life and is compatible with science? Professor Tart will share some ideas to get us started thinking about this direction of evolution, and then draw us out to give us even more possibilities…..

TeleseminarRethinking the Scientific Method
- Speaker
- Jonathan Schooler, PhD
- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD
Why, despite a wealth of evidence to the contrary, is the prevailing scientific paradigm is essentially materialist, reducing all phenomena to physical substrates and excluding consciousness? IONS Senior Scientist Dean Radin will talk with social psychologist and consciousness researcher Jonathan Schooler, recently profiled in the New Yorker Magazine, about why psi research has yet to convince the scientific and academic community that consciousness is a fundamental element that must be included, rather than excluded, from scientific inquiry.

TeleseminarThe Timing of Paradigm Shifts
- Guest
- Richard Tarnas, PhD
- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD
A major paradigm shift within the collective depends on more than just theory or new empirical data. It needs a whole new soil, a larger archetypal matrix in which to bloom and grow. Richard Tarnas will describe the archetypal dimension, how it can be seen in the Copernican revolution and how Jung brought the archetypal dimension to the forefront. He will also discuss how astrology can be used to see the timing of when archetypal patterns will play out and the mass transformations we can expect to experience at the archetypal level in the coming years.

- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD

What is consciousness? It’s an age-old question that still stretches the limits of science. Is consciousness a form of energy? Christian de Quincey has dedicated a career to exploring this puzzle — philosophy’s “hardest problem,” science’s “final frontier,” and spirituality’s “deepest mystery.” Using the Four Gifts of Knowing, he guides us into this perennial mystery. Join Dr. de Quincey to explore different theories of consciousness, how mind and body are related, and how consciousness can make things happen in the physical world.

Dr. Bill Bengston has produced the first known full lifespan cures of cancer in experimental animals using healing techniques that he helped to develop. A recounting of his 30 years investigating healing, as well as his clinical experiences, are found in his recent memoir, The Energy Cure, published by Sounds True. A 6 CD audio set entitled Hands on Healing describes the healing techniques in detail. Bill is the president of the Society for Scientific Exploration, an international group of scientists who study anomalies.

- Speaker

Can neurotheology provide a new understanding of the human mind, the human brain, and human consciousness? How can we become better thinkers? How might neurotheology address important moral or theological questions? The principles described will be critical to the scientist, religious or spiritual person, and the general public as this highly important topic, neurotheology, is engaged.

TeleseminarNonlocality and Exceptional Experiences
Genius, Religious Epiphany and the Psychic
- Speaker
- Stephan A Schwartz
- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD
Stephan A. Schwartz will discuss his research into the extraordinary experiences we know as moments of genius, religious epiphany, and psychic insight. Two hundred years of reductive materialism has failed to explain them, but new research has begun to unravel some of the mystery. Schwartz will describe why he thinks these three experiences are in essence the same experience, differentiated only by intention and context, and what science knows about opening your own nonlocal abilities.

TeleseminarSufism and Rapid Wound Healing
Unsolved Mysteries of Consciousness
- Speaker
- Howard Hall
- Host
- Dean Radin, PhD
We will explore the mysteries of consciousness and Howard Hall’s systematic research of Sufism and rapid wound healing for the past decade. Notions of non local healing have been around in both religious and non religious contexts throughout history, but have become more popular recently with many so called energy based non local healing traditions. Hall’s systematic observations of Sufi rapid wound healing will be explored as a physical manifestation of a robust non local healing with a “higher” consciousness at its core.

Noetic experiences include psychic phenomena, known generically as "psi" experiences. Psi denotes anomalous processes of information or energy transfer, processes that are currently unexplained in terms of known physical or biological mechanisms. They are generally labeled extrasensory perception (ESP) -- the acquisition of information without using the known senses -- and psychokinesis (PK), the ability to influence physical objects or events without the intervention of any known physical force. Common labels for the various ways that ESP manifests are telepathy (mind-to-mind), clairvoyance (perceiving events or objects that are hidden, shielded, or at a distance) and precognition (perceiving the future).
