This first Consciousness Dialogues retreat of 2025 will begin the afternoon of Wednesday, March 26 and continue through the morning of Sunday, March 30.  During these days participants will participate as a group in a selection of activities designed to highlight different aspects awareness. Some examples from the inaugural CD retreat include: guided meditation, out-of-body experiences, dance and improv, group art creation, and (of course) variations of PEAR (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research) Laboratory experiments like remote viewing and affecting Random Event Generators.

After each activity, the group participates in a Bohm-esque discussion focused on exploring the prior consciousness experience through the lens of foundational principles.

The cost for retreat participation is $500, which includes lodging, food, and all materials associated with the activities. The food at the retreat is all vegetarian with vegan options, but non-vegetarian cuisine is within walking distance.
