Noetic Approaches to Healing and Racial Justice

June 23, 2020 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm (PDT)

We are at a crossroads in humanity, an evolutionary tipping point. Our collective hearts have been broken open by recent events of senseless violence, and we have seen millions of people standing together in solidarity — calling forth a world in which true justice and equality can be established for all people.

This time also asks each of us to open our collective eyes to truly recognize and repair broken systems based on racism, oppression and the false thinking that perpetuates them ― that is, thinking of the “other” as separate from us.

Our mission at IONS is to reveal the interconnected nature of reality through scientific exploration and personal discovery. We understand that it is not enough to illuminate ideas and research about our interconnectedness, but together as a community we must stand for integrating these ideas and ways of being into the social structures of our time.

To further open the dialogue, we are inviting our community to join together for a special Noetic Global Gathering, Noetic Approaches to Healing and Social Justice. In this 90-minute meeting, we will hear from visionary leaders within the IONS community about how to truly work from a noetic level within ourselves and within the larger society to be part of the solution.

Azim KhamisaAzim Khamisa serves as the Vice Chair of the IONS Board of Directors. Hailed by dignitaries such as the Dalai Llama, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore, Azim delivers his inspirational message to a world in desperate need of forgiveness, peace and hope. Following the murder of his only son Tariq in 1995 through a senseless, gang-related incident, Azim chose the path of forgiveness and compassion rather than revenge, and this amazing choice led to the establishment of the Tariq Khamisa Foundation (TKF) and the subsequent forgiveness movement which has reached millions.
