SCIENCE AND NONDUALITY CONFERENCE 2009

October 23-25, 2009
Marin Convention Center, San Rafael, California

Dualisms shape our worldview. They include Mind/Matter, Self/Other, Perception/Reality, Quantum/Classical, Wave/Particle, Spiritual/Material, Beginning/End, Male/Female, Living/Dead and Good/Evil.

Wisdom gained through meditation, yoga and mystical experiences suggest these dichotomies are illusory. Eastern mystics know a single underlying reality called advaita, Brahman, the Tao, or Nirvana, from which all existence arises through consciousness. Nonduality is the philosophical and spiritual understanding that dualisms obscure a deeper reality of non-separation and fundamental oneness.

On the other hand, science depends on empirical data leading to reductionism, materialism and apparent dichotomies. But discove! ries in quantum physics, brain sciences, consciousness studies, biology, cosmology and other fields have revealed nonduality in science as well, suggesting mysticism and science share a common source. Applying nondual perspectives in science, and scientific perspectives in Eastern spiritual approaches are the twin goals of this, the first public conference on the Science of Nonduality. Join us for three days seeking fundamental oneness in quantum physics, philosophy, consciousness studies, cosmology, art, Buddhism, psychology and spiritual metaphysics.


Speakers will include: Brant Cortright, Amit Goswami, Alex Grey, Stuart Hameroff, Rick Hanson, Francis Lucille, Daniel Pinchbeck, Dean Radin, Daniel Sheehan, Marilyn Schlitz, Henry Stapp, Fred Alan Wolf, Jeremy Hayward, Stephen Wolinksy, Peter Fenner, Rudolph Bauer, Rick Hanson, Rabbi Hoffman, Shaykha Fatima Fariha al-Jerrahi and many others.
