Where Science and Spirit Meet
(Theosophical Society – Aug 2015) – Exploring how science and spirituality are different but complementary ways to understand human potential and the nature of reality, and how at the nexus of the two we might find solutions to challenges facing humanity. A presentation of the 129th Summer National Convention of the Theosophical Society in America explores what psychology can tell us about the soul and in what ways, if any, it can help us on the spiritual path. 2015.
The Science of Consciousness: Changing the Way we Work
(Iclf Leadrship Summit Asia – Feb 2016) – How understanding more about consciousness can impact leadership and workplace innovation. The Leadership Energy Summit Asia was held on 1-2 December,2015 at Sasana Kijang Unlike the typical leadership seminars and conferences that sell competency based skills building and best practice formulas, this conference will focus exclusively on the personal sources of energy and staying power that leaders tap into at will. Each year we invite prominent leaders who have indeed created better futures, and experts from diverse fields such as science and spirituality, to better understand Leadership Energy.
Living Deeply: The Art and Science of Transformation (Workshop)
(Theosophical Society – Aug 2015) – Describes the methods and results of a series of studies on transformations in consciousness, and the model of personal transformation that resulted. A presentation of the 129th Summer National Convention of the Theosophical Society in America explores what psychology can tell us about the soul and in what ways, if any, it can help us on the spiritual path. 2015.
On Noetic Science
(TEDx Black Rock City – Aug 2012) – Do fluctuations in collective attention affect the output of random number generators? Describes an experiment at Burning Man with a laser display, and discusses why the scientific study of consciousness is possible and important.
The Science of Interconnectedness
(TEDx Napa – Dec 2012) – Speaks to how interconnectedness is evident in every part of life, from religion to civil/human rights movements, to science and social interaction, and how it can be scientifically investigated.
Exploring Non-local Consciousness
(Science and Nonduality – Dec 2014) – Exploring Non-local Consciousness with Dean Radin (Senior Scientist at IONS), Neil Theise (Professor of Pathology and of Medicine), Julia Mossbridge (Cognitive Neuroscientist), John Hagelin (Quantum Physicist), Menas Kafatos (Quantum Physicist) and Rudolph Tanzi (Professor of Neurology, Harvard University), moderated by Cassandra Vieten (President of IONS) This superstar interdisciplinary panel will engage some of the very latest thinking and evidence for why it is becoming increasingly impossible to reduce consciousness to brain processes alone. We will ask questions like: How is it possible that we can access information at a distance and into the future? What is the relationship between unconsciousness processing and nonlocal consciousness? If our mind is locked inside of our skull, what accounts for mind-matter interactions? And what are the boundaries of the body anyway? And how can we learn to “use our brain” instead of having “our brain use us?”
Fearless Science
(Science and Nonduality – Feb 2014). The cutting edge of science of consciousness, far from being fringe, is investigating the most centrally important questions of our time. And yet, these controversial topics are often challenged as being “unscientific” by the mainstream scientific community. In fact, there are no unscientific topics. The scientific endeavor should not be held back by limitations in our imagination and ingenuity. The frontier of science is the investigation of consciousness–in particular, the nonlocal,causal, and nondual aspects of consciousness.

A scientist, and CEO and President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Cassandra Vieten will discuss the frontiers of scientific investigation of nonduality and consciousness.
