ConnectIONS Live!
What if the “vibe” you feel in a room—or around a person—is more than just intuition? What if it’s grounded in real, measurable science?
Join IONS Scientist Garret Yount, PhD, for a fascinating exploration into the invisible dynamics that shape our lives. Drawing from over two decades of research into subtle energy, Garret will share insights from his groundbreaking investigations with healers and consciousness practitioners around the world. You’ll get a glimpse into the science behind energy and connection, and hear what’s currently unfolding in his lab at the frontier of consciousness research.
This exciting webinar celebrates the launch of The Energy of People, Places, and Spaces, his new online course based on his award-winning book Why Vibes Matter: Understand Your Energy and Learn How to Use it Wisely. Whether you’re new to energy awareness or deeply attuned to the unseen layers of reality, you’ll come away with a rich understanding of how energy influences your well-being, your relationships, and the world around you.
Your vibration isn’t just a feeling—it’s a force for transformation!

PRESENTERS
Garret Yount, PhD, is a molecular neurobiologist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) where his research focuses on laboratory-based models of exceptional human abilities. He obtained his BS from the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology at the Pennsylvania State University and his PhD from the Department of Neurobiology & Behavior at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He began his formal studies in consciousness research with a small grant from the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1995, which allowed him to work with biofield practitioners and spiritual healers in the laboratory. Since then, Dr. Yount has conducted carefully controlled laboratory experiments with spiritual healers and biofield practitioners from around the world, including China, Brazil, Canada, USA, Japan, India, Russia, Hungary, and Sri Lanka, and was fortunate to be among the first scientists to be awarded a Research Project Grant (R01) from the National Institutes of Health to study energy healing. He is the author of many peer-reviewed scientific papers and the book Why Vibes Matter: Understand Your Energy and Learn How to Use it Wisely.
Kerstin Sjoquist is the Director of Experience & Engagement at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. A long-time IONS member, a series of synchronous events led Kerstin to a staff position at the Institute in 2014. She now spends her days supporting the creation of IONS’ programmatic and workshop offerings as well as overseeing the organization’s marketing and communication endeavors.
Kerstin began leading workshops focusing on manifesting techniques in the early 1990s. After completing a 250-hour certification process in 2001, she launched a successful private hypnotherapy practice. That same year Kerstin also founded Consciousness Arts, Inc., specializing in psycho-spiritual products and classes. She is the creator and producer of the Bliss Trips line of guided meditation journeys and numerous hypnotherapy products produced under her label, as well as developing white-labeled products for other organizations. She volunteered for Women in Community Service, where she developed and led confidence-building and stress management workshops utilizing visualization and guided imagery techniques for women transitioning from welfare to the workplace. In recent years, Kerstin has produced and/or taught several workshop offerings for IONS.
In a “parallel universe,” Kerstin began a career in the nascent web space in 1996. She developed and led a half-dozen classes at Stanford University as a lecturer in their continuing studies program. Kerstin holds a master’s degree in East-West Psychology from the California Institute for Integral Studies (CIIS).
