In early October, over 2,000 IONS community members from around the globe joined together to investigate how Noetic Resilience can help guide us during these monumental global events we are currently facing. During this ConnectIONS live webinar, “Standing Strong: Noetic Resilience in Challenging Times,” IONS Fellows Dr. Cassandra Vieten and Dr. Michael Sapiro shared noetic practices to help guide us on how to cultivate hope and connect with what remains unchanged within us during these challenging times.
During the webinar, Dr. Michael Sapiro, clinical psychologist, Dharma teacher, meditation researcher, and former Buddhist monk, led the participants through the Hope Intervention Meditation Practice. This meditation practice is a new development from the Institute for Love and Time, a nonprofit organization which supports engineers and scientists who are focused on the idea of building actual unconditional love and time-travel applications. Hope Intervention was a free, live, science-based, clinically informed 30-minute experiential video webinar led by IONS fellows Dr. Julia Mossbridge and Dr. Michael Sapiro.
Dr. Michael Sapiro gave participants a sneak peak into the newly developed practice which offers an opportunity to build greater levels of flexible strength, so that we can bend, and not break, in the windstorms of life.
