WELCOME
We are pleased to personally invite you
to participate in the Institute of Noetic Sciences
first international conference of members,
colleagues and friends.
At the Institute of Noetic Sciences, we sincerely be-
lieve that collectively we can build a sustainable and
magnificent global future. Global Mind Change -
From Vision to Reality is a conference dedicated
to exploring tools and strategies for the most impor-
tant work of humankind - personal growth within
the context of sustainable global development. These
are times of tremendous challenge; they require the
best in each of us. By coming together for a week-
end of collaborative learning, we can have an op-
portunity to discover the visions we all share, and
understand more deeply the likely realities that will
emerge from them. Such knowledge can help us
shape our choices with greater awareness, skill, and
wisdom.
The interactive nature of this conference is, in the
spirit of the poetic sciences, both experimental and
experiential. The successful outcome of this meeting
is in the hands, hearts, and minds of all partici-
pants. Keynote addresses will raise our sights; inter-
active panels will contribute to our knowledge; and
working groups will address themselves to specific
questions with practical import. All will be docu-
mented for publication at a later date.
This conference is a culturally significant, inter-
disciplinary event where scientists, philosophers,
business people, social innovators, and practical
visionaries from diverse backgrounds will come to-
gether to integrate their ideas and expertise. In a
truly collaborative fashion, participants will meet to
address topics that cut across traditional boundaries
in an effort to see the critical issues and transforma-
tive possibilities that connect us, rather than sepa-
rate us. From such a vantage point, we expect to
see solutions more easily.
In addition to what occurs in the conference
sessions, we especially look forward to the at-
mosphere of warmth and friendship that will emerge
by dining, celebrating, networking, and simply being
together. Community building is an important aspect
of our efforts to make the "global mind change" a
reality.
In exploring human consciousness, we have set
a bold course for ourselves. Each of us owns a por-
tion of the map, along with the skills, talents, and
insights for following it. On behalf of our members,
colleagues, friends, and Board, we want to extend
to you a warm personal invitation to engage with
us in the task of discovering more conscious, crea-
tive ways of being. We welcome your participation.
We look forward to meeting you this summer
at the conference in Santa Clara.
Very sincerely yours,
