This is the first scientific conference on Vajrayana pratices, bringing together psychologists, neuroscientists, and medical scientists together with Vajrayana scholars and practitioners to examine the effects of mind-body practices of Vajrayana – the Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhist tradition on enhancing human cognition and creativity. For a variety of political and economic reasons, these advanced Vajrayana practices are currently on the verge of disappearance.

IONS Scientist Dr. Arnaud Delorme will speak on the topic “Current neuroscience research on Vajrayana practices and their possible neurocognitive and physiological mechanisms I & II” with Maria Kozhevnikov on March 27th. He will also be participating in the roundtable discussions on April 3-4, 2021.

Radio Boise has launched a new podcast — Radio Awakened, hosted by IONS Fellow Dr. Michael Sapiro. In this podcast, Dr. Sapiro explores the furthest reaches of human potential, and takes deep dives into the process of becoming the best of ourselves.

The first episode featured Dr. Cassandra Vieten who spoke about enchantment. Dr. Vieten is a licensed clinical psychologist, mind-body medicine researcher, author, consultant, and public speaker. She is the Executive Director of the John W. Brick Mental Health Foundation. a Scholar in Residence at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at the University of California, San Diego, and a Senior Fellow at IONS. Her work helps people see new possibilities, shift perspectives, and widen their worldviews to help make the world a kinder, brighter place to live.

Listen to Episode One

In Episode Four, Dr. Sapiro talks with Dr. Julia Mossbridge, also an IONS Fellow, about  time travel, precognition, and unconditional love. She is best known for her research in mental and physical time travel, artificial intelligence, and consciousness. She has rigorously researched a wide range of fascinating phenomena, including precognition, future orientation, unconditional love, and how sound influences mood and cognition. Additionally, Dr. Mossbridge has explored models for personal transformation and self-transcendence.

Listen to Episode Four

This series draws from learning and exploration at the Leading as Sacred Practice in-person summits begun in 2016 in Germany and California. In this pandemic year, they are continuing this virtually and inviting wide participation.

You will have a chance to share a special conversation with IONS CEO Claire Lachance and other consultants and process leaders about how to bring awareness of and respect for “the sacred” into your work and life. Out of the process so far have emerged six “ways” of leading. You will explore these in a lab-type, interactive on-line environment, led by an ensemble of skilled facilitators, all committed to deep inquiry and connection.
