President's Note
Having just returned from a purely magical experience in Egypt with a group from the Worldwide Indigenous Science Network, I am particularly struck by the role of cycles in the nature of reality, and how each and every element—from the individual to the society (and beyond)—is going through its own cycles. Yes, plural. We are simultaneously at many points in many different cycles, and it is the interplay between them that gives life such richness. As I come back to "normal life" after traveling the Nile, I find myself paying rapt attention to the different cycles comprising my life, what each one has to offer, how they intertwine, and at what stages I find myself. Some are frustrating, many are beautiful and energizing... and every single one of them has a valuable lesson to offer. May you enjoy your many cycles!

Starting with a little history and theory...

And so naturally we will be exploring the concept of Love, as a thing unto itself but also in the context of how it manifests as various principles within the structure of reality, notably through Syntropy and Gravity.

Theater of the Deep - An Experiment
We have a theory: people can have fun listening to short theatrical plays while simultaneously exploring aspects of consciousness. Does this have anything to do with a fire-breathing quokka? No, but the image caught your attention, didn't it? On Sunday, February 8th at 12:00 pm EST // 6:00 pm CET, ICRL, the Scientific and Medical Network, and the Pari Center are banding together to pilot an online "theater" event, the reading of four short plays that each explore matters of consciousness from comedic and dramatic...

If you are still on the fence about attending the "Paths to Consciousness" conference being held at the Pari Center in May now is the time to act for the conference is only two slots away from being completely sold out. Explore the distinctions and commonalities across Indigenous and Western sciences with leading minds from around the world. This seven-day event is far more than your typical sit-still-and-listen conference; presentations will be sharing the stage with direct experience workshops, multiple indigenous ceremonies, and individual opportunities to help synthesize it all at the personal level.
