How does imagination shape the way we perceive reality, access intuition, and explore human potential?
In this Global Gathering for Members, we’ll explore the theme of Imagination, Consciousness, and Human Potential, inspired by the recent IONS ConnectIONS Live event featuring Cassandra Vieten, former IONS President and CEO.
Cassi’s work explores how imagination shapes perception, decision-making, and our ability to envision possible futures. Rather than seeing imagination as simply creativity or fantasy, her research suggests it is a core cognitive system through which consciousness navigates reality. She also introduces the idea of imagination neurodiversity – the insight that people imagine in different ways, such as through images, words, emotions, or sensations. Together, we’ll reflect on what these ideas reveal about imagination, intuition, and human potential.
You don’t need to have attended the ConnectIONS Live event to participate today. We’ll offer a brief overview and then open discussion groups to reflect on how inquiry into death can deepen meaning, connection, and purpose in daily living.
The Global Gatherings Structure
Our Global Gatherings feature a formal program (60 min) of context setting and discussion, and a bonus 30 minutes at the end of the program for those who would like to stay on Zoom to continue the conversation with each other. Global Gatherings are lively and safe spaces for our members to share personal insight. To protect personal privacy and to provide a safe and comfortable space to share, the session will not be recorded.
We Hope You will Join Us!
