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.
Join us for a fascinating webinar featuring Michael Levin (Tufts University) and George F. R. Ellis (University of Cape Town), moderated by Andrew M. Davis (Center for Process Studies). Together, they will explore the curious and profound question of “possibility spaces”—those unseen domains that shape what can emerge in cosmology, biology, and beyond. What are these possibility spaces? How do we come to know them? In what forms do they exist—and perhaps most intriguingly, why do they exist at all?
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.
Kathleen Wakefield will read a selection of her poems followed by questions and conversation with Jay McDaniel. We will cap our session off with an opportunity to enjoy an interactive poetry writing experience. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on the process of writing their poem and share their work, if desired.
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.
