Psi Agora: Fostering Diversity in Parapsychology

The Psi Agora is an online space opened on the 5th of each month (11:00am Eastern) for members of the Parapsychological Association to gather for conversation around a selection of “table” topics. The objective is to replicate, in a virtual platform, some of the social dynamics that happen at conventions or other consciousness-related gatherings, which have helped to nourish innovation and develop international projects. Furthermore, it’s an excellent opportunity to learn about what’s being researched by your colleagues!

On April 5th, IONS Director of Research, Dr. Helané Wahbeh, will host a table discussion on the topic:

ILA 2021 CONFERENCE: Reimagining Leadership Together

Together, how can we more fully unleash the abundant potential of people, including ourselves, to collaborate across today’s many multi-faceted opportunities and complex issues? How can leadership be a greater catalyst for societal and eco-systemic advancement? How can leadership create the conditions for more equitable relationships across divides, even across lines of conflict?

ILA 2021 CONFERENCE: Reimagining Leadership Together
October 20-23, 2021 in-person in Geneva, Switzerland
October 24-25, 2021 in the Virtual Realm

We are experiencing a fast-changing climate, shifts in populations and in geo-political power, the consequences of pandemics, and exponential technology advances. These factors combined are reshaping how we live, how we interact, and how we work at a rapid pace and in ways we are yet to even imagine. A global pandemic like the Corona virus has presented us with unprecedented leadership challenges and through it we are learning we can adapt, more than we imagined was possible.

At the same time, we face growing inequalities. Freedom from fear and indignity, having a voice or a seat at the table are still far from being a shared reality. Our interdependent societies, industries and economies continue to offer opportunities for advancement, while also exposing vulnerabilities to disruption. Tensions are increasing along many divides and competition for real and imagined resources is intense.

Within organizations, change management mindsets are giving way to concepts of continuous adaptation and resilience. In increasingly diverse workplaces, everyone has a lead role to build collective trust, leverage different points of view, elicit new insights, and create sustainable value.

What isn’t changing is that engaging in leadership requires caring and compassion, it requires leaning into our anxieties, developing a tolerance for uncertainty, and learning to accept, even cherish our vulnerabilities. It also requires a commitment to understanding and removing systemic barriers that remain too high for too many people. Cross-generational and cross-gender understanding will unlock entirely new ways to advance.

It is time to expand what leadership means and who can lead. Do we need to change our approach toward the burden of steering the destiny of an organization or a nation? Perhaps advancement will depend on a greater adoption of leadership practices across society? That said, global alliances and initiatives, like the Sustainable Development Goals and the multilateral system were designed for exactly such purposes and are challenged with maintaining progress and relevance.

It is with this backdrop that we invite you to join IONS CEO Claire Lachance in Geneva, Switzerland to reimagine leadership for a safer, more just, and inclusive world. She will be participating in “ILA’s Global Leadership Roundtable” and also be chairing a session titled “Intersectionality of Leadership Development and Society.”

Psychic Phenomena and Quantum Mechanics

Psychic phenomena involve two mysteries. The first is that the mind appears to have access to information unbound by the ordinary senses or the everyday constraints of space and time. The second is that the mind seems to be able to directly influence matter from a distance. Quantum mechanics has the same two mysteries. In this domain the first is called “nonlocality,” and the second is known as the “observer” effect. Are these shared mysteries merely a coincidence, or do they suggest a common source?

The Noetic Signature: Evaluating and Accessing Nonlocal Consciousness

Hear IONS Director of Research, Dr. Helané Wahbeh, speak at an online program offered by the European School of Theosophy. In this presentation, she will be presenting findings from the IONS Noetic Signature™ study.

At the Institute of Noetic Sciences, our guiding premise is that all things are interconnected and that embodying that awareness reveals information and energy not limited by space and time, and can profoundly amplify transformation, innovation, and well-being. We believe that all people have the ability to access this kind of information and energy at some level. There are lots of words to describe it (clairvoyance, telepathy, psychokinesis, precognition, psi, psychic, channeling, extended human capacities, anomalous information reception… the list goes on and on) and not many people feel comfortable talking about their personal experiences with it.

The way that people access and receive this information and energy is unique to them. We call the unique way each person receives and expresses that information and energy your Noetic Signature™. Just as each snowflake is different, and yet equal in its exquisite beauty, each individual’s Noetic Signature™ has inherent value and our noetic diversity can be collectively celebrated.

Parapsychology and the Study of Religion and Spirituality

Join Dr. Helane Wahbeh, IONS Director of Research, and Dr. Stanley Krippner, IONS Fellow, at highly interactive event hosted by the Parapsychological Association.

This symposium will gather researchers from different disciplines to reflect on the many relations between parapsychology, religion, and spirituality, and their implications for an understanding of the past, present, and future of psi research. This interdisciplinary and interactive space will allow for a rich dialogue between these different research fields.

Parapsychology and the Study of Religion and Spirituality
August 28-29, 2019

Frederic Myers stated that the chief purpose of psychical research was “to prove the preamble of all religions”. J.B. Rhine, in his turn, argued that “parapsychology has in a real sense confirmed the spiritual (i.e., extra-physical) nature of man”. Many theologians and religious studies scholars have also recognized the profound interconnection between parapsychology and the study of religion. Curiously enough, few studies have investigated the relationship between psi and religious or spiritual variables. The study of the relations between these two fields does not feature as a prominent aspect of contemporary psi research.

Some parapsychologists might see such topics as problematic, perhaps because of criticisms raised by skeptics that parapsychology is a spiritual movement (rather than a science), or because of their own views regarding the relevance of spiritual or religious issues in experimental investigation. However, one can hardly deny the influence (even if only implicit) of different spiritual traditions over the history of parapsychology including Christianity, Spiritualism, Eastern mysticism (particularly Indian philosophical traditions), shamanistic practices, esoteric and psychedelic religions.

Sustainability Leadership Summit

The International Leadership Association, through this Sustainability and Beyond summit, has invited IONS CEO Claire Lachance to join with other change agents and leaders to mobilize, reimagine and collectively accelerate the positive changes needed to meet the daunting challenges facing planet and people.

Business recognizes climate change is a growing material concern. Communities and individuals are increasingly negatively impacted. But not all are acting. We are in a race to reimagine our futures and design a sustainable shift toward more just, equitable, and ecological ways of living, leading, and being.

We have less than a decade to make a significant impact to alter our current trajectory of 3 degrees C global warming and protect the futures of the next generations. Leadership is about bold change, not maintaining the status quo. Together we can act and engage locally to collectively transform and scale our global community. Together we can make a positive difference!

This summit is designed to create space for people of common purpose to gather, inspire and be inspired, connect with others, and learn what they can do to help create regenerative global futures.
