This workshop brings together leading scientists and philosophers to explore the intricate relationships between plasma, consciousness, and cosmic evolution. In a collaborative effort, we will examine how plasma cosmology challenges traditional paradigms, offering new perspectives on the nature of life, intelligence, and experience. Our goal is to cultivate a deeper comprehension of plasma’s far-reaching implications for understanding the universe and our place within it.
For three glorious days, top theologians, podcasters, and faith adventurers will throw down on the biggest questions of existence—God, meaning, justice, resurrection, the problem of evil, and why bad beer happens to good people. You’ll sip your way through mind-blowing conversations, live podcast throwdowns, interactive sessions, and a few unexpected surprises.
Join Nish Dubashia and Marie Murtagh for an engaging talk on “A Brief History of God: From Nature Spirits to Cosmic Consciousness.” Tracing the evolution of human spirituality from ancient beliefs to modern visions of unity and awareness, this conversation blends history, philosophy, and personal insight. Includes a presentation and interactive Q&A inviting reflection on the future of faith, meaning, and consciousness.
Join educator Travis Cox for an exploratory webinar discussing the intersections between non-ordinary states of consciousness, our relationships to the more-than-human world, and the connections between human mental health and the health of the living Earth.
In the conference presentations, we encourage contributors to share the results of transdisciplinary research on the foundations of education (and, more broadly, the humanities), utilizing the interpretive framework offered by Whiteheadian process philosophy. We also warmly invite reflections on Whitehead’s educational ideas from the standpoint of your own disciplinary practice, whether it be the natural sciences, humanities or social sciences, or spiritual disciplines.
