Several years ago ICRL partnered with the Bhaktivedanta Institute for Higher Studies (BIHS) on a project to explore the language that we use in consciousness research, with the ultimate goal of creating a form of Rosetta Stone to help everyone understand how we intend the words we use.
The effort experienced a COVID delay, but is finally back on track! At the end of June, 2024, ICRL and BIHS joined forces with the Monroe Institute to host our first Consciousness Dialogues Retreat at their beautiful facility in Faber, Virginia.
The event was held over the course of four days with a dozen of the most beautiful souls humanity has to offer. In that time, we engaged in a variety of group activities that ranged from interpersonal relating to meditation, art, dance, and – of course – telekinesis and remote perception. After each activity, the group engaged in deep discussion, exploring the essence of the shared experience and the expressions of consciousness that were found within.
What’s Next?
Is this going to happen again? Feedback from the group made it unanimously clear: these event must continue! We are in the process of finalizing logistics, but here’s how things are shaking out. In the spring, it looks like we will hold the second retreat at the BIHS facility in Gainesville, Florida.
Later in the year we may return to the Monroe Institute or the ICRL Retreat Center, both in Virginia, although we are also exploring a future Europe-based options as well.
If you are interested in participating, we encourage you to preregister. In doing so you will be the first to receive details about the event, and may even be able to influence the dates and locations if there is flexibility in the scheduling process. In short, you will be kept ‘in the loop’ as planning happens. There is no cost for this.
However, if you are ready to commit, placing a $100 down payment now will provide all those benefits and additionally you will a) have top priority when registering for a retreat, and b) receive a 20% discount off the retreat price (and of course that $100 counts towards the cost of the retreat itself). Please note that when you choose this, in addition to the option of making a tax-deductible donation to support ICRL (please do!!), you will also have the option to support the Zeffy platform that we use to process payments (and which is not part of ICRL). You can easily adjust the Zeffy donation to $0 if you wish (it defaults to 15%, and we can’t change this default).
