What, if anything, survives physical death? That was the motivation behind this IONS essay aimed to advance the understanding of the complex and fascinating topic of survival of consciousness.

We are pleased to share a new publication to come out of IONS Discovery Lab, Exploring Personal Development Workshops’ Effect on Well-being and Interconnectedness in the Journal of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. IONS Discovery Lab (IDL) is an ongoing inquiry into the relationship between interconnectedness, intuition, and well-being through data collected from participants in personal development workshops, alternative healing practices, and transformational retreats. Online surveys are now available in seven languages to help expand our global reach.

There’s a glitch between the public interest in the paranormal and the academic research on the topic. Studies show that a solid 75% of Americans believe in the paranormal – just look at the sheer amount of TV series and movies featuring ghosts, psychic abilities, and superpowers!

We’re pleased to announce that IONS now accepts crypto. Thanks to the integration of The Giving Block and Endaoment, you can now support research on the evolution of consciousness by sending gifts in over 70 crypto coins – including Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Participants in this study will be compensated $80 for completing 12 trials. Each trial will take less than one minute.

Have you ever experienced communications, dreams, entheogenic experiences, hypnagogic states, etc. in which a precognition, premonition, or intuition about becoming pregnant with child occurred? If so, your participation in a Sofia University’s dissertation study would be highly valued.

Now, perhaps more than ever, humanity is being called to embrace our interconnectedness. This is a unique moment in time for IONS – from the synergistic emergence of new research partnerships to the expanding global reach of our experiential programs, IONS continues to deepen our commitment to serving humanity and our planet. We remain firm in our conviction, grounded in our founding legacy and decades of rigorous research, that the noetic sciences hold a crucial key to a better future for all.

What is energy healing? What is energy medicine, and could science explain quantum healing? Does Reiki work? 

The question is no longer if psi exists – but rather how these phenomena work. In this new study, IONS Fellow Julia Mossbridge and IONS Chief Scientist Dean Radin investigated the role of gender, personality factors, and self-reported psi beliefs in performance scores on psi tasks. 

We are delighted to share the news that our friends Evalina Everidge and Marc Blesoff are offering the Conscious Aging Online Workshop through their new organization, Courageus — and their first workshop starts June 28!
