IONS Community Groups are independent, self-organizing, voluntary associations that bring together a dynamic collection of people dedicated to exploring a wide range of noetic topics, and advancing a personal and collective shift in consciousness.

Through the global IONS Community Group Network, passionate and curious people gather to build community and coherently engage with IONS work in deeply meaningful ways — ways that make a profound difference in their lives and communities.

Are you interested in facilitating a vibrant community of explorers and change agents who are working together to make a difference in the world?

The IONS Next Generation Initiative brings awareness and engagement within the noetic sciences to younger generations by supporting emerging scholars and explorers.

Our last third of life is a time full of opportunity for growth. Yet, in our youth-obsessed cultures, many of us experience anxieties about growing older. Our fear and denial can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Join us for an experiential hour to explore shifting our consciousness away from self-limitation, lack, isolation, and fear and toward expansiveness, inclusiveness, wholeness, connection, and compassion.

Presented by IONS Certified Conscious Aging Facilitators Marc Blesoff and Evalina Everidge

Our collective hearts have been broken open by recent events of senseless violence. In response, millions of people stand together in solidarity — calling forth a world in which true justice and equality can be established for all people.

Deep transformation requires skillful and effective approaches to informing, to educating, and to sharing messages that inspire action and change. IONS is creating a special online version of C3: Consciousness, Communications & Change available to anyone who wants to play a role in that transformation.

Registration for this self-paced video course is free to all through the month of July — please spread the word!

You are passionate about making a change in this world. You strive to inform, to educate, to inspire. And yet, at times your carefully crafted message falls flat. Why?

Too often we, as changemakers, trip over our message—unintentionally employing counterproductive methods that cause our audience to resist, rather than welcome, new perspectives.

Powerful findings from the science of how people change—and why they don’t—have not yet made it to the front lines of therapists, activists, policymakers, and others fighting the good fight. Until now…

Consciousness, Communication & Change (C3)
Become a more skillful, engaging, and effective communicator!

In this groundbreaking, experiential in-person workshop, you will explore how the latest research findings in social, cognitive and brain science, along with worldview and behavior change research, intersect with timeless wisdom from the world’s spiritual traditions to reveal the dynamic forces driving human thought and behavior.

Translated into practical tools and techniques that you can apply immediately, this cutting-edge research opens a window into what works, what doesn’t, and how to craft clear, concise and compelling messages that enroll your audience in a powerful new vision of the future. In this self-paced course you will learn to:

• Better understand people’s non-conscious motivations or biases
• Deliver facts or evidence more skillfully and effectively
• Steer clear of ineffective strategies, such as over-informing or motivating through fear
• Sharpen and strengthening your own unique voice
• Root your vision in shared values
• Enhance people’s sense of membership and community, and
• Ground your strategies in science

If your job or life’s purpose is to create a thriving and equitable human presence on this planet, this workshop is for you!
