The Science of Consciousness, Mystical Experiences & Psi Phenomena (Hybrid)

This is a hybrid event. Join in person or online!

Join us in person or online for a deep dive into the nature and implications of mystical and psi phenomena, including psilocybin-facilitated states, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and children’s past-life memories.

Leading researchers from the University of Virginia’s Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) will offer an examination of these transformative human experiences through scientific and interdisciplinary lenses.

Presentations will highlight cutting-edge research, psychological and spiritual dimensions, and clinical relevance. The conference will conclude with a panel discussion integrating science and spirituality, fostering dialogue, and identifying opportunities for future research to advance understanding of consciousness and its profound mysteries.

We hope you can join us for this one-of-a-kind event!

Registrants will receive on-demand access to recording(s) that can be viewed for four weeks following the conclusion of the program.

Lunch break: You may pre-order a Panera lunch box for $22, bring a vegetarian lunch with you, or eat at a nearby restaurant.

This is a live, interactive hybrid program that will also be recorded. The recording will be available for on-demand viewing for four weeks following the program date.
