Dualisms shape our worldview. They include Mind/Matter, Self/Other, Perception/Reality, Quantum/Classical, Wave/Particle, Spiritual/Material, Beginning/End, Male/Female, Living/Dead and Good/Evil.
Wisdom gained through meditation, yoga and mystical experiences suggest these dichotomies are illusory. Eastern mystics know a single underlying reality called advaita, Brahman, the Tao, or Nirvana, from which all existence arises through consciousness. Nonduality is the philosophical and spiritual understanding that dualisms obscure a deeper reality of non-separation and fundamental oneness.
On the other hand, science depends on empirical data leading to reductionism, materialism and apparent dichotomies. But discove! ries in quantum physics, brain sciences, consciousness studies, biology, cosmology and other fields have revealed nonduality in science as well, suggesting mysticism and science share a common source. Applying nondual perspectives in science, and scientific perspectives in Eastern spiritual approaches are the twin goals of this, the first public conference on the Science of Nonduality. Join us for three days seeking fundamental oneness in quantum physics, philosophy, consciousness studies, cosmology, art, Buddhism, psychology and spiritual metaphysics.
Speakers will include: Brant Cortright, Amit Goswami, Alex Grey, Stuart Hameroff, Rick Hanson, Francis Lucille, Daniel Pinchbeck, Dean Radin, Daniel Sheehan, Marilyn Schlitz, Henry Stapp, Fred Alan Wolf, Jeremy Hayward, Stephen Wolinksy, Peter Fenner, Rudolph Bauer, Rick Hanson, Rabbi Hoffman, Shaykha Fatima Fariha al-Jerrahi and many others.

Experiencing Design,- behaving media - A transdisciplinary inquiry into art, science, technology and society
The Planetary Collegium’s Xth International Research Conference:
Consciousness Reframed

Theme: Experiencing Design,- behaving media -
A transdisciplinary inquiry into art, science, technology and society.

Experiencing Design,
- Behaving media –
We cordially invite submissions from artists, designers, theorists and researchers engaged in transdisciplinary inquiry into the concept of design and designing and art as well as technology, and in its relationship to media as a behaving entity. The proposed ambiguity is on purpose and we encourage submitting proposals theorizing design with unusual and unexpected perspectives.
Design is more and more framed as a platform of integration in various scientific communities therefore it will be interesting what it can bring to the foreground framing it with artistic, technological and scientific production and accompanying it with a research perspective.
The Conference will be accompanied by a publication of Abstracts, and Conference Proceedings, including full papers and a DVD, due to be released summer 2010
Submissions
Submission of Abstracts: Abstracts (500 words maximum) are due June 1st., 2009. They should be submitted as an attached document in Text (txt), Rich Text (rtf), or Acrobat Reader Format (pdf) by e-mail to: info.pl@macromedia.de
