We were deeply saddened to hear of the recent passing of our long-time supporter and former board member, Bokara Legendre of Mill Valley, CA. She will be remembered for her exuberant personality, curiosity, love of adventure, courage and, most of all, her generosity to friends and the causes she believed in, including IONS.
I’m Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. I have been engaged in scientific research at the frontiers of consciousness for nearly 40 years. I was in graduate school when IONS was founded in 1973, and I thought that its mission, described then as exploring the outer limits of inner space, was just as exciting — maybe even more so — than exploring the limits of outer space. The idea of science probing the fundamental nature of consciousness, and ultimately understanding who and what we are, is thrilling.
Magic is one of the most enduring legends of humanity. It’s at the core of the esoteric traditions, it saturates the literature of religion and science, and while it has been severely suppressed for millennia, fictional stories about magic are just as popular today as they’ve ever been. But is magic real?
The world is calling out for a new type of leadership — one that recognizes our interconnectedness with each other and the planet, and respects the gifts that each of us can bring to improve the whole. At the Institute of Noetic Sciences, we are boldly creating a future that serves our individual and collective wellbeing by infusing noetic practices into leadership training, professional development, business, and technology.

Amidst ever-increasing cultural diversity and social complexity, navigating and thriving in a global society requires we expand our capacity to understand a multitude of perspectives. When we become aware of the lenses through which we experience the world we can become even more compassionate and self-aware leaders of a global society. And as more people shift their own worldview to recognize their essential interconnectedness with the planet and those living on it, the more they are motivated to engage in action and leadership for the greater good.
The Voices of VR Podcast with Kent Bye caught up with IONS scientist Julia Mossbridge, as well as Mikey Siegel who is the founder of Consciousness Hacking, at our recent 17th International Conference in Oakland, CA.
It appears that the power of our intention and the strength of our actions actually conjure up a new possibility and allow us to step into a new future. Do you notice this to be true in your life? Have you seen this elsewhere?
As an organization that is dedicated to the healing and well-being of the planet, we recognize the importance of supporting the next generation of leaders who will contribute greatly to both the personal and collective transformation that is needed at this time. And while a tremendous number of pathways for activism, innovation, and leadership are presented to young people, very rarely is the “missing piece” of consciousness engaged. And IONS hopes to remedy this!
Ten years on from the revelatory book we co-published by Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul, we are thrilled to see his work taking the next powerful iteration of supporting people engaging their noetic awareness based on scientific research.
