The topic for our October IONS meeting is Mindful Transitions. In our life’s journey, we sometimes have “peak” experiences that reveal to us a deeper reality and truth of who we are. We may have an extraordinary experience such as near-death or out-of-body or a profound spiritual awakening in meditation, but once we return to our routine lives, then what? We may long to replicate the joy, peace or bliss that we experienced, and feel disappointed when we don’t. We may feel the absence of a bridge between the experience and our day-to-day life. How do we ensure a meaningful transition and avoid a sense of loss upon returning to our more mundane existence? The answer is simpler than you think. Join us for this compelling discussion.
What is IONS? The Institute of Noetic Sciences™founded in 1973 by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research, education, and membership organization whose mission is supporting individual and collective transformation through consciousness research, educational outreach, and engaging a global learning community in the realization of our human potential. “Noetic” comes from the Greek word nous, which means “intuitive mind” or “inner knowing.” IONS™ conducts, sponsors, and collaborates on leading-edge research into the potentials and powers of consciousness, exploring phenomena that do not necessarily fit conventional scientific models while maintaining a commitment to scientific rigor.
The Caritas Center sponsors one of a global network of self-organizing community groups that study and discuss the work of IONS.
