Many different modalities claim to be effective at healing. However, healing can also be as simple as a daily activity that refreshes us, renews our perspective, or restores our sense of interconnectedness. We’ll take a philosophical approach in this conversation around healing as we investigate it through the lens of conscious awareness. 

Join us for InterconnectIONS, a high-engagement event designed to foster community in a supportive IONS setting. Members will spend an hour together enjoying noetic discussion around the topic, “Consciousness & Healing.” Our Community Moderator will guide attendees through interactive program segments to share insights in both small and large groups. 

Be sure to attend the live session as this event is not recorded! For questions and further details, please contact info@noetic.org.

Experimental psi research is challenging for a number of reasons. One obstacle is that it is hard to get a psi effect in the laboratory. Reliable psi approaches, such as Remote Viewing protocols, require a lot of effort and expertise on the part of experimenters. This not only slows progress, but it’s a barrier for outside researchers to replicate successful psi experiments. 

What can make psi experiments more reliable and easier to do? The Psi@Home Project is attempting to answer this question. This Project, run by the Paris Institut Métapsychique International, combines successful psi research protocols into one easy-to-use platform. It is also a platform outside researchers can learn to use, so they can demonstrate psi for themselves. The key to the success of this Project is people participating in experiments from home whenever they feel ready.

Join us for this exciting ConnectIONS Live webinar, when the Director of the Psi@Home Project, IONS Fellow Peter Bancel, PhD, will discuss the strategy behind it and share his results from their first Psi@Home experiment. He will also explain their next steps and how you can get involved in the Project. Psi@Home is participatory, and anyone is welcome to join.

PRESENTER

Peter Bancel holds a PhD in experimental physics from the University of Pennsylvania. Following a post-doc at IBM Research, he moved to France to work with the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique in Paris and Nantes. His research interests have included quasicrystals, phase transitions in two-dimensional systems and protein crystal growth. Peter began working in psi research shortly after the US terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when he joined a small group looking at data from the Global Consciousness Project. His decades-long investigation led to a definitive assessment of the GCP, one of psi research’s largest databases. He has published work on state-induction approaches to improving psi effect sizes, theoretical assessments of meta-analyses in psi databases and experiments with meditator cohorts on precognition. An ongoing experiment probes the interaction of psi and entanglement in quantum systems. Peter works at the Institut Métapsychique International in Paris, France.

Time travel. Unconditional love. Not only are these huge subjects to explore by themselves, but for most people, they don’t seem to go together. For Julia Mossbridge, PhD, an IONS Research Fellow, it’s different. Over her long career, she has studied how time is perceived by our unconscious and conscious minds, and how our sense of time is related to authenticity and human interconnectivity. 

In this fascinating webinar, Julia Mossbridge will be sharing the latest research and technology in the fields of unconditional love research, precognition, and informational time travel. Plus, you’ll get to experience a live guided meditation, led by Julia, intended to support time travel and unconditional love!

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the intersection of time travel and unconditional love in your own life.

People initiated into a Buddhist dream yoga monastery spend a minimum of three years learning to master the art of lucid dreaming (or realizing within a dream that you are dreaming it) and applying it to Buddhist principles while lucidly aware in the dream state.  

Why do Buddhist monasteries ask for a three-year commitment, when many people learn to lucid dream within weeks? In short, lucid dreaming is a nearly infinite platform for personal growth, creativity, and spiritual wisdom when it is approached in a thoughtful and integrative manner.

In this ConnectIONS Live webinar, Robert Waggoner, author and lucid dreaming expert, will share the Five Stages of Lucid Dreaming and some of the powerful realizations that come with each stage. Tune into this free presentation to learn more about the lucid dreaming ‘path’ and what the conscious exploration of the dreaming mind can tell you about the ‘self’ and ‘waking reality.’

As the Taoist Laozi is credited with saying, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” The act of becoming lucidly aware within a dream is like that “single step,” but the unfolding of the lucid dream journey takes time and reflection.

PRESENTER

Robert Waggoner is the past President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD). For the past twenty years, he has been the co-editor of the online magazine, The Lucid Dreaming Experience, the only ongoing publication devoted specifically to lucid dreaming. A lucid dreamer since 1975, he has logged more than 1,000 lucid dreams.

Lucid dreaming offers science a revolutionary psychological tool to experiment and investigate the deeper aspects of the dream state, consciousness and the mind. In 1975, Robert taught himself a simple technique to become consciously aware in dreams. Since that time, lucid dreaming has been proven by the pioneering research of Dr. Keith Hearne, University of Hull, and Dr. Stephen LaBerge at Stanford.

Robert’s first book, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self, shows how lucid dreamers can explore the subconscious and its knowing. With fascinating lucid dream examples, thought-provoking questions and exciting techniques, it has been hailed “a classic” by experienced lucid dreamers. His latest book, Lucid Dreaming, Plain and Simple: Tips and Techniques for Insight, Creativity and Personal Growth, written in collaboration with Carolina McCready, was called the “perfect book for beginners” by easy-lucid-dreaming.com.

Robert frequently speaks on lucid dreaming at national and international dream conferences, workshops and college classrooms, including Sonoma State University, Iowa State University, The University of Washington, The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Evergreen State College, and internationally at Tel Aviv University and Hebrew University, in Jerusalem, Israel.

Robert has been interviewed by CNN, CBS News and ABC News (KABC – Los Angeles) about the practice of lucid dreaming. His comments have appeared in media as diverse as DETAILS, The Huffington Post, Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Popular Science and Brides magazine. During 2009-2010, he had a regular Iowa Public Radio show, discussing dreams and lucid dreams.

The Lucid Dreaming Experience

The Lucid Dreaming Experience (LDE) is an independently published quarterly e-zine dedicated to educating and inspiring lucid dreamers everywhere. The magazine seeks to educate, inform and inspire lucid dreamers by exploring lucid dream techniques, sharing lucid dreams and discussing the potentials of lucid dreaming.

Through the lucid dream experiences of our readers, you will learn a lot about lucid dreaming — new challenges to try, techniques to prolong lucidity, ideas about the boundaries of lucid dreaming and more. Many of our readers find that reading about lucid dreams in the LDE (particularly at night before going to sleep) increases their likelihood of having lucid dreams!

Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple

Based on many decades of personal experience and some of the latest scientific research, Lucid Dreaming Plain

and Simple, seeks to introduce the beginner to the science and practice of lucid dreaming. Robert Waggoner, author of the acclaimed book, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self, has teamed up with a talented teacher and lucid dreamer based in London, Caroline McCready, to help you learn important lucid dreaming techniques to induce, maintain and explore this special state. Along the way, you will be treated to numerous examples of lucid dreams, and the various ‘lessons in lucidity’ that emerge from the authors’ decades of experience and observant eye.

Lucid dreaming offers you access to an inner platform to call forth creativity, promote healing, seek insight and personal transformation. In clear and thoughtful language, Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple shows you what you need to know in order to benefit from this extraordinary state. Moreover, you will learn how experienced lucid dreamers use this to accelerate spiritual growth, heal from past traumas and clear out mental debris which keeps you from your full potential.

What is at work when a seemingly random group of people come together and begin to experience synchronicities and magical moments? And what does it imply when it happens over and over again, across groups and across time?

Join award-winning teacher, international speaker, and author Christopher M. Bache, PhD. as he tells the story behind his book, The Living Classroom, and shares how to apply what he learned to all kinds of group settings — in the classroom and beyond.

As he describes it, “Fields of consciousness and energetic resonance manifest everywhere around us, but they emerge with special power in group settings. For years, I watched these phenomena surface in my classroom. It touched my students in sometimes dramatic ways and triggered unexpected episodes of healing, insight, and creativity. I studied their dynamics and eventually fashioned a new approach to teaching – emphasizing the ecology of consciousness and the collective dynamics of group Minds.

What I learned as a teacher applies to all intentional groups. The issue is not education, but the nature of consciousness itself and the innate tendency of our hearts and minds to synchronize and form alliances with those around us. When collective fields are activated, our baseline consciousness is deepened and our individual capacities are augmented. But, if we are to engage these fields wisely calls for skillful means.”

We hope you’ll join us for this engaging webinar.
