Leonid Sharashkin at Science and Consciousness Conference: the Natural Environment as an Extension of Self

Leonid Sharashkin will be presenting a workshop at the Tenth International Conference on Science and Consciousness in Santa Fe, New Mexico USA, March 28 - April 2, 2008.

Leonid Sharashkin is editor of the Anastasia (Ringing Cedars) series of books by Vladimir Megre. After obtaining a Master's degree in natural resource conservation, Leonid worked as Program Manager at World Wildlife Fund in Moscow, Russia, where he also edited Russia's largest environmental magazine. He translated into Russian a number of books, including Tompkins's and Bird's "The Secret Life of Plants" and Schumacher's "Small is Beautiful."

Leonid will be offering a workshop entitled "Ancient Roots, Modern Shoots: Seeing Your Natural Environment as an Extension of Your Self."

Ancient wisdom holds that body and psyche are intricately linked to the living environment and that contact with nature is essential for bodily and mental well-being. Modern research offers insights into why this is the case, and what practical steps we can take to establish a reciprocal flow of nourishment and energy from humans to our environment.

This workshop introduces you to the concept that a human organism stretches far beyond the physical body. Learn how our ancestors in different cultures viewed humans as inseparable from their environment, and learn practical ways to apply this understanding in everyday life.

Dannion Brinkley at Science and Consciousness Conference, speaking on his multiple Near Death Experiences

Dannion Brinkley will be giving both a keynote and a workshop at the Tenth International Conference on Science and Consciousness in Santa Fe, New Mexico USA, March 28 - April 2, 2008.

Dannion is author of Saved by the Light, Peace in the Light and The Secrets of the Light: Spiritual Strategies to Empower Your Life... Here and in the Hereafter. All three books are based on Dannion's unprecedented adventures during his multiple near-death experiences.

After being struck by a bolt of lightning at the age of 25, Dannion found himself traveling down a tunnel and into a brilliant Light. There he witnessed a panoramic review of his entire life on Earth, and then he was taken to a luminous Crystal City. Within a celestial Hall of Knowledge, Thirteen Beings of Light infused Dannion's consciousness with many visions of the world to come, and charged him with the spiritual mission of establishing Healing Centers on the Earth. Twenty-eight minutes later, against his will, Dannion was returned to his lifeless body. Since that fateful evening in 1975, Dannion has been on an incomparable spiritual odyssey.

Today, he is revered as 'one of the greatest orators of our time' offering a message of great hope and courage to audiences worldwide. His message is timely, beautifully and true: There is no such thing as death!


Dannion will be offering a keynote address titled "A Spiritual Perspective on Modern Science." Dannion tells the story of his death by lightning in 1975. He will delineate the scientific explanation of the spiritual journey he consciously experienced after his body was pronounced clinically dead, and remained so for 28 minutes. Learn the scientific process by which we are all transported from the physical world back into the spiritual realms, the true meaning and purpose behind life on Earth, and the spiritual reality of eternity, for there is no such thing as death.


Dannion will also be offering a workshop "How the Near Death Experience Redefines End-of-Life and End-of-Life Care" at the conference. Baby Boomers are the largest segment of our country's current population. Assisting our parents, spouses, siblings and children to make their transition from this world to the next, is a physical reality each of us is eventually going to have to face. Modern science has enhanced our longevity and quality of life, but in many ways it may actually be hindering our ability to fully embrace the deeply spiritual nature and flow of life into death.

Dannion will spiritually illuminate the dying process, and underscore the acceptance of death as a natural and celebratory part of the circle of life. He will emphasize the importance of volunteering as a form of spiritual activism, and share tools to help promote the health and well-being of the caretaker, as well as ways to achieve life closure for those in active transition.

Rupert Sheldrake at Science and Consciousness Conference: "Memory and Morphic Resonance"

Rupert Sheldrake will be giving both a keynote and a workshop at the Tenth International Conference on Science and Consciousness in Santa Fe, New Mexico USA, March 28 - April 2, 2008.

Rupert Sheldrake, PhD is a biologist and the author of "The Presence of the Past: Morphic Resonance and the Habits of Nature," "The Sense of Being Stared At and Other Aspects of the Extended Mind" and many other books. He was Director of Studies in Cell Biology at Cambridge and was a Research Fellow of the Royal Society.


Rupert will be offering a keynote address titled "Memory and Morphic Resonance." According to the hypothesis of formative causation, all self-organizing systems, including crystals, organisms and societies are organized by morphic fields containing an inherent memory, given by a process called morphic resonance from previous similar systems. Nature is not governed by fixed laws but by habits. By this process, all human beings draw upon a collective human memory, similar to Jung’s collective unconscious, and in turn contribute to it. Even individual memory depends on morphic resonance rather than on physical memory traces stored within the brain. This radical hypothesis has many implications for our understanding of human and animal nature.


Rupert will also be offering a workshop "Fields of the Mind: Experimental Research and Practical Intuition" at the conference. Our minds seem to extend far beyond our brains. Recent experimental results show that people can influence others at a distance just by looking at them, even when all normal sensory clues are eliminated. The mind reaches out to touch the focus of its attention. Rupert suggests that this happens through mental fields. Such fields are also involved in the projection of intentions, which can be detected telepathically at a distance, as shown in experiments with dogs that know when their owners are coming home, and on people's ability to anticipate who is about to call. Telepathy seems to be normal, rather than paranormal, and is widespread in the animal kingdom.

In this workshop, you will do simple experiments to explore how the fields of our minds extend beyond our bodies through attention and intention. Rupert will also discuss how individual and collective memory depend on a kind of resonance - morphic resonance - with the past, and show how our minds link us to events that have not yet happened. Intuition can be of great practical importance, and is rooted in our evolutionary history.
