President's Note
Welcome to December, and the approaching winter solstice... a time to step back, slow down, and remember that everything in nature needs its moments to rest, rebuild, and rejuvenate. Despite how it may sometimes feel (particularly for those who grew up being told they must never step achieving), moments of doing nothing are just as necessary as moments of great effort; every part of the cycle is important and deserves your focus, your investment, and your appreciation. |

Help Consciousness Research Continue
|
|
About 45 years ago, the PEAR laboratory was founded to research the interaction of consciousness with and within our universe. The PEAR team's methods and findings laid the foundation for an entirely new approach to investigating anomalies, and planted the seed for a much-needed Science of the Subjective.
There is still a great deal to be done, and a critical part of that is undertaking research to raise awareness of the implications of the PEAR findings. Towards that end, ICRL has identified two research initiatives for 2025 that we believe have the potential to do just that. But we need your help.
Whether it is in the spirit of Giving Tuesday, from a sense of appreciation for what PEAR accomplished, in recognition that we must continue to water the seeds of change, or simply because sometimes making a gesture of kindness is the right path to take... please consider contributing to our fundraising campaign today. Every single donation - large or small - does more than just support ICRL's efforts: it shows us that this work matters to you.
Thank you for being a part of ICRL!

The December ICRL Meetup is about... you!
| |
|
A growing tradition within the ICRL Meetup calendar is to dedicate some time for all of us to share what we have been doing, where we are right now, and what we are envisioning for the year to come. This is the focus for our next Meetup, scheduled for the Winter Solstice, December 21st, 2024 at 1:00 pm EST. Please join us and share some of your journey.

I-Ching... But Do You?
| |
|
On Thanksgiving morning I awoke to an unexpected delight. A friend, Josh Mitteldorf, shared the culmination of a five-year project on which he had been working: a beautiful book (I Ching Sonnets) and website combination. I tried it out immediately (you can do a casting online), had an amazing, on-target reading focused on family. So naturally I thought it would be most appropriate to now share his project with the ICRL family!

Spread the Holiday Spirit
While we always hope that you will help to raise awareness of the importance, the centrality, of consciousness to those around you, and perhaps even share your awareness of ICRL and what we do, today we invite you to remember to take that extra moment to share some unexpected kindness to someone who isn't expecting it today. Treat them to a cup of coffee, hold the door, or even just give them a smile that says, "May your highs be a little higher and your lows a little less low". Those small differences... make all the difference.
Happy Winter Solstice, and heartfelt blessings from ICRL! |
