My Life Reimagined Summit

Years of doing, striving, and keeping up have crowded out the part of you that wonders, plays, and pictures what else might be possible. It hasn’t gone anywhere.

It has just gone quiet.That part of you is your imagination. Not idle daydreaming, but the real, trainable capacity behind how you heal, connect, decide, and move toward what’s next.
Five days with IONS Senior Fellows Cassandra Vieten, PhD and Michael Ryoshin Sapiro, PsyD, and 30+ world-leading scientists, healers, and teachers, learning how to wake it back up.

✨ See more than one future, move toward the one you actually want

✨ Bring back the wonder, play, and meaning that has faded

✨ Train imagination like a skill, using real science

Earth Day Global Meditation

ConnectIONS Live!

REGISTER FOR FREE

Join us in honor of Earth Day for a special meditation dedicated to the healing and flourishing of our planet.

Around the world, people are feeling a growing call to reconnect with the Earth, with one another, and with the deeper intelligence that links all life. Research in consciousness and meditation suggests that when people gather in shared attention and intention, meaningful shifts can occur within individuals, relationships, and potentially the wider collective field.

In this special ConnectIONS Live webinar, IONS Fellow Michael Ryoshin Sapiro, PsyD will guide participants in exercises to revitalize our relationship with the Earth, and then will lead a meditation inviting us to align our awareness with the well-being of the planet.

We’ll engage in guided practice, reflective exercises, and shared silence, creating space to focus collective care and intention toward Earth’s healing, resilience, and renewal.

Together we’ll explore a simple but profound question: What becomes possible when many hearts and minds align in care for our living planet?

The International Forum on Consciousness

Join BTC Institute at The 2026 International Forum on Consciousness, as they explore the many ways intelligence and awareness manifest beyond conventional cognition. The theme centers on other ways of knowing—forms of perception and insight that emerge through intuition, embodiment, neurodiversity, animal and plant cognition, indigenous and Eastern contemplative traditions, altered states, and even emerging artificial intelligence.

Chief Scientist Dean Radin and IONS Fellow Cassandra Vieten are expected to present at this symposium.

What to expect:

  • Engaging panels and keynotes with leading scientists, clinicians, and contemplative practitioners exploring neurodivergent cognition, anomalous perception, interspecies awareness, and altered states
  • Immersive experiences that move beyond the intellectual into embodied and contemplative ways of knowing
  • Meaningful connections within a community committed to expanding our understanding of consciousness

Find Your Truth Behind the Masks You Wear

Have you ever paused to wonder — whose life are you really living?

It’s easy to get swept up in the expectations of society, loved ones, and even your own inner critic…

…until you realize you’ve built a life that no longer reflects your heart’s true desires or authentic self.

If you’ve been feeling the call to release the masks that have quietly shaped your identity so you can reclaim your future, this invitation is for you…

Join The Shift Network on Tuesday, December 2, for a free online event where Dr. Michael Ryoshin Sapiro, clinical psychologist and Fellow at IONS, will help you begin unraveling the narratives of the past in order to consciously create a different and improved story.

During the hour, you’ll participate in experiential practices of “mental time travel,” applied compassion, and embodied awareness.

You’ll also explore how to tend to the wounded parts of your past self while calling forth the wisdom, confidence, and creativity of your future self — right here, in the present moment.

In this transformational workshop, you’ll:

  • Experience a futuremaking meditation to meet a wiser, more playful, and confident version of your future self — and learn how to bring that energy into the present

  • Begin to recognize your “Patchwork Persona” — the layers of conditioning and programming that influence your choices

  • Practice unconditional love by tending to your younger self through real-time, experiential compassion and care

  • Slow down to the pace of nature, attuning to the heart, psyche, and cosmos to receive insight and guidance for your wellbeing

  • Start to integrate and embody what you discover, learning how to bring these insights into your daily life so your future self can begin living through you now

  • Explore “Truth Medicine” and the 3 Simple Truths to discover why speaking and living your truth is essential to genuine wellbeing and inner freedom

This online workshop is open to all who feel called to release what was never theirs to carry — and to finally recognize the quiet whispers of truth their hearts have been begging to be heard.

Even if you can’t attend Find Your Truth Behind the Masks You Wear, be sure to register so The Shift Network can send you a full-length recording of the event following the broadcast.

Truth Medicine Author Event in San Francisco, CA

Truth Medicine (Balance) is an accessible guide to psychedelic psychotherapy and its transformative healing abilities, by a clinical psychologist and psychedelics expert. Are you living the life you’re meant to be living, or fulfilling somebody else’s ideas of who you should be? Would you like to learn what’s true for you underneath the programming while healing old wounds that keep you living in cycles of trauma, depression, and anxiety? Truth Medicine explains why we often feel stuck and are unable to move forward into a life of thriving, and how psychedelic psychotherapy addresses these essential questions for our well-being. Grounded in research and experience, Truth Medicine answers frequently asked questions about psychedelic psychotherapy — what it is and how it works, and what medicines are used (primarily ketamine, with an overview of other medicines on the horizon, such as MDMA and psilocybin), contraindications, and more. Walking readers through the whole process from preparation through medicine sessions and into integration, Dr. Michael Ryoshin Sapiro also shares case studies that are inspiring, engaging, and raw, for a go-to guide for anyone looking to heal. While Truth Medicine describes in detail how psychedelic psychotherapy works to bring about healing and growth, it ultimately points you back inside yourself, where your own wisdom and truth are waiting to be discovered and lived.
