The Institute of Noetic Sciences acknowledges the significance of expanding the legacy and accessibility of noetic science to the next generation of explorers who are uniquely positioned to take this field to new heights.

Using a process that’s as easy as gargling with Scope, researchers can now gather data to understand how various stimuli activate gene expression in humans. Through a non-invasive method, study participants can now provide a sample of their RNA by swishing a mouthwash solution for 30 seconds, a painless and preferable alternative to drawing blood with a needle.

Art provides an intimate exploration of interconnectivity, a journey into a universal language displayed in a tapestry of diversity, interwoven through vibrant threads of rhythms, sounds, tones, vibrations, movements, hues, shades, costumes, theatrics.

Art in many forms has carried messages from one, to many – social, political, ecological issues and movements effectively protested through unique expressions that captivate purpose, intention, personal and collective consciousness. Art reveals the mysteries of the darkness we experience, while emboldening the light within to shine and spread in richness, creativity, and splendor.

“I read too much science fiction as a kid,” Dean Radin tells Julie Motz of KWMR FM Radio’s Hot Tech, Cool Science when asked how he got involved in noetic sciences. “It is comparable to someone reading Harry Potter books today. I was most curious about what is possible in order for magic to exist.”
