Suggested Donation $5
The subject of forgiveness is one of the hottest fields of research in clinical psychology today, with more than 1,200 published studies. Studies and research by social scientists have begun only in recent decades, partly due to the misperceptions that it was a “religious” topic. In this month’s IONS meeting, we will look at examples of individual and collective forgiveness in various parts of the world as well as surprising results of recent research on the effects of this important skill on our physical, mental and emotional health. Please join us in exploring this topic that affects us all.
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.
