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 noetic 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, cred-
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,

Hit pom Mey

Minding the Body, Mending the Mind and Soul
Joan Borysenko and Myrin Borysenko

We are at an emerging crossroads where science,
medicine and spirituality are coming together as a
new force for healing; where mending the soul is
recognized as integral to minding the body and mend-
ing the mind. Physical illness, addiction, anxiety,
depression, loneliness and guilt are all opportunities.
You and your clients can learn to embrace life with
gratitude and and enthusiasm, learning the skills of
psychospiritual growth and remembering our connec-
tion to the spirit, or Source, of life that we all share.
Exploring medicine, science, psychology and the
perennial philosophy of the ages, we will share a day
of soul-mending that includes meditation, imagery,
prayer, dreamwork, poetry and song designed to bring
you into a powerful experience of your Spiritual Self.

The Unfolding of the Sacred in Women’s Lives
Sherry Anderson and Patricia Hopkins

In religious traditions founded and taught by men, we
are taught that our forefathers had to sever their rela-
tionships and leave their homes in order to begin
their spiritual journeys. But what of all the gen-
erations of women who did not leave home to wander
in the wilderness but who remained to raise children,
plant gardens and cook meals — those who had
responsibilities in the daily world, who made homes
rather than leaving them? We need to look beyond
the familiar stories and teachings about home-leaving
we have learned from men. To pioneer a new way of
embodying spirit in the world today we must listen
to the deep source of wisdom within ourselves and
tell the truth about our lives and what we are learn-
ing. This means questioning everything we have been
taught or taken for granted that is not validated by
our own experience. Simply by asking one key
question, is this true for me? about each “truth” we
hear, we challenge ourselves to become what we
truly are. We need not only the courage to follow
wherever the questions lead us, but the willingness to
let go of the certainty of thousands of years of tradi-
tional teachings to enter the unknown territory of our
own experience.

- old paradigm of mechanical reductionism. She will
present highlights of the latest research discoveries on
the mind-matter interrelationship, extraordinary hu-
man abilities, the subtle energies that connect all
things, the interactions of electromagnetic fields and
life, and energy medicine. Taken together, the seem-
ingly anomalous findings from these areas spell out
the rudiments of a new world view for science. The
emerging paradigm provides us with an entirely new
view of ourselves in relation to nature which will turn
us culturally in a more humane direction and radically

fascinating lives of frontier scientisis will be told.

Inner Work & Social Transformation: Weaving
Power, Wisdom, Love and Creativity Together
Joel and Michelle Levey

This highly experiential and interactive Institute is
designed to equip individuals and “change champions”
with knowledge, strategies and skills vital to bringing
the transformational forces of creativity, power, wis-
dom and love into their personal and organizational
change efforts. Themes to be explored in this Institute
include: understanding the motivations for change; the
synergy of personal and organizational transforma-
tion; strategies for building “right relations”; strategies
for “personal energy management”; integrating active
and quiet mind skills; the dynamic synergy of in-
tellect, intuition and communication; dynamic center-
ing in the midst of chaos and change; creating the
context, infrastructure and capabilities necessary for
personal and social change; cultivating mindfulness
and lovingkindness; generating change strategies. This
inquiry is for individuals and working teams commit-
ted to building synergy between their inner work and
the outer work of organizational, family and social
change/healing. By learning skills and sharing insights
we will nurture the deeper wisdom, love and inspira-
tion vital to creatively translating our visions and
values into action.

Stepping Stones to the Natural Mind:
Indigenous Science at Work
Pamela Colorado and members
of the Worldwide Indigenous Science Network

In this experiential Institute we will explore the con-
tinuing role’ of Indigenous Science in our lives. Using
the model of the Medicine Wheel to enhance our un-
derstanding, we will share perspectives from: Dr.
Pamela Colorado, Oneida, Canada; Mazatl Gazindo,
Aztec, Mexico; Keola Sequeira, Native Hawaiian,
Maui; Dennis Barella, Minole, California; Rev.
Edyne Decker, California; and Dr. Barbara McNeill,
Institute of Noetic Sciences. Drawing from a multi-
disciplinary approach, we will use native carved im-
ages, petroglyph designs, oral history, music and
ritual, interwoven with intellectual information, to in-
troduce participants to the reality of the Natural
Mind. This is a state of transcendent consciousness
anticipated by the ancients that restores natural bal-
ance, harmony and healing both on a personal and
planetary level.

Rekindling the Spirit in Work
Howard Schechter

Rekindling the spirit in work leads one on an inner
journey that produces remarkable insights and practi-
cal answers to one’s deepest concerns about work.
This Institute is about reconnecting with ourselves
and the work that we do. Rekindling the spirit in
work involves creative exercises, sharing with the
group leader and other participants and quiet time
alone. This Institute will help us gain clarity about
goals in work, the skills required to reach those
goals, and awareness of our strengths. The process
further allows one to confront major blocks to re-
warding work. This Institute is for people beginning
new careers, in transition, or dissatisfied and bored in

Evening Program

Global Mind Change — What, Why and How
Willis Harman

All of us are aware that some kind of global mind change is taking place; few
doubt that it is at a very fundamental level. What it is, why it is happening now,
what its implications are for ourselves and our children, and how it can be made
less traumatic — all these questions are of crucial importance, for us and those
for whom we care.

As the Paradigm Shifts — Two Decades of Consciousness Research
Edgar Mitchell

Edgar Mitchell looks at twenty years of progress toward the emergence of a new
scientific and cultural worldview as technological development, the influence of
Oriental philosophy, consciousness research and environmental crisis have
challenged the most deeply held beliefs of Western civilization. He will explore
what the future holds as concepts of reality change.

Exploring the Vision

Our individual journeys have led each of us to this moment, this place, this pur-
pose . . . and for a few days we will travel together, joining our hearts, minds,
talents, and possibilities. As in all great journeys, the outcome is unknown, but it
is ripe with promise. Bonded by celebration and dedication, we will move from
vision to reality.

The founding premise of the Institute of Noetic Sciences will permeate the open-
ing ceremonies through imagery, music and ritual — a tribute to exploration and
the grandest dimensions of human consciousness.


Approved For Release 2003/09/10 :

On both Saturday and Sunday, conference
participants will form working groups devoted to

in-depth exploration of particular topics. Frontier thinkers will lead each group, present-

ing ideas and information to challenge participants and stimulate dialogue. 0 Working

Groups will be organized to promote extensive interaction and to bring the imagina-

tion, experience and insight of participants to bear on issues critical to the individual,

society and culture. The work done in each group will be part of a larger whole: first

contributing to our attempt throughout the conference to identify practical tools and

strategies for sustainable personal and global development and then serving as input

to ongoing projects at the Institute and its partnet organizations. [) Our aim is to cre-

ate a learning community whose participants collaborate in discovering the values and

visions, tools and strategies that support more conscious, creative ways of being.

Frontier scientists no longer regard the universe as a dead ma-
chine. A new science is emerging in which the universe is seen
as a supreme work of divine art, alive and creatively evolving
toward richer complexity, intimately dependent on us. Several
frontier areas of science in particular present serious challenges
to mainstream science: parapsychology and the mind-matter in-
terrelationship; the Anthropic Principle: the interaction of elec-
tromagnetic, morphogenetic and other fields with living systems,
new energy technologies; and complementary medicine, includ-
ing the systems of acupuncture, homeopathy, electromedicine,
and other types of “soft” medicine. This Working Group will
examine the key discoveries in these areas and explore their im-
plications for the future of science and the relationship between
science, human experience and society.

We are at a crossroads where traditional psychotherapy is be-
ing challenged to re-invent itself. Advances in the understand-
ing of trauma, multiple personality disorder, energy medicine
and the near-death experience have shed new light on old con-
cepts of mind, body, soul and spirit. What is mind, what is body
and at what level of reality are traumatic or limiting memories
stored? Are there ways of accessing and transforming memo-
ries that might complement and/or replace traditional insight and
behavioral techniques leading to faster or more complete heal-
ing? This Working Group will be an opportunity to discuss the
theory and practice of healing in the imaginal realm — an easi-
ly accessed state of consciousness that is ontologically real wheth-
er or not it reflects “objective” reality.

ind Know What It Is Doing:
Critical Issues in Mind-Body Research
Harris Dienstfrey and Lynn Gordon
During the last ten years we have witnessed a tremendous in-
crease in scientific study of the mind-body relationship and ap-

‘plication of mind-body approaches to reduce stress, intervene

IA-RDP96-00792R00040;

in illness and promote health. This decade of investigation has
<3 questions that we will explore in this Work-
ing Group. In particular, we will examine the different kinds
of “mind” presumed by scientific investigations of mind-body
relations, compare the different “minds” in prominent investi-
gations of the mind’s effect on the body, and identify the range
of capacities attributed to “mind” in mind-body investigations.
What do we think we know about the mind? What psychosocial
variables are really important with respect to health and illness?
What further questions should we be asking? What are the im-
plications for illness and health? This Working Group is for
everyone interested in exploring the features of the mind in mind-
body studies.

Much of human behavior is organized in the form of discrete
states of consciousness (DSC) — unique constellations of psy-
chological and physiological variables. Many sources of infor-
mation contribute to our understanding of this phenomenon,
including studies of normal infants, sleep, psychosis, drug-
induced states, meditational states and a variety of psychiatric
conditions such as panic attacks, catatonic reactions, and manic-
depressive illness. In multiple personality disorder subjects, dis-
crete states of consciousness take the form of alter personalities
with individualized senses of self. Multiples often exhibit dra-
matic changes in cognition and bodily physiology when switch-
ing among alter personalities. Many artists and writers describe
shifting into other “identities” or into unique states of conscious-
ness as part of the creative process. Some use substances or
preparatory rituals to initiate this process while others are able
to access these states volitionally. This Working Group focuses
on the nature of DSC and the integration of discrete states into
a coherent, productive and creative whole.

WG5
_ (Courageous Compassion
Ann Medlock

Courage plays an important role in altruistic behavior. This is
evident whether we look at the lives of people who have “stuck
their necks out” for a particular cause or at our own experiences
of caring for others, other beings or the Earth. In this Working
Group we will explore the role that courage plays in compas-
sionate action. We will look at courageous service as a keystone
of self-esteem; learn a process of undertaking service that in-
creases the chances of success; and discuss ways of moving peo-
ple beyond self absorption and into healing roles in the world.

WG6
Indigenous Science and Global Survival
Pamela Colorado ,

The specific focus of the Worldwide Indigenous Science Net-
work (WISN) is to foster the revitalization, exploration, growth
and exchange of traditional knowledge and wisdom of Indigenous
Peoples so that it may be brought to bear — in conjunction with
Western science — on critical global issues. In this Working
Group we will explore: the revival and revitalization of In-
digenous cultures, their ways of “coming-to-knowledge” and the
processes by which they transfer that knowledge to following
generations; the knowledge of Healing Arts — treating mind,
body, soul and spirit as integral and a unitary organism; and
the reconstitution of knowledge systems wherein concepts of
animate/inanimate, physical and metaphysical merge to create
local applications of universal statements.

‘WGT
Spiritual Truths
Sherry Anderson and Patricia Hopkins

Traditional institutions no longer offer compelling answers to
the questions that many of us are asking. What we learn from
those who have been courageous enough to leave those institu-
tions and create new pathways for the expression of the sacred
in our lives is that telling one’s story and trusting one’s inner
guidance are essential aspects of heating and spiritual growth.
These processes have a pattern and rhythm that is unique to each
individual and which must be respected if we are to fully em-
body our essential qualities of Being. This Working Group will
identify and work with practical approaches for uncovering per-
sonal sources of sacred inspiration and guidance and explore
individual diversity in spiritual paths.

Inspired Life: Cultivating So pong t
Transformative Qualities of Mind
Joel and “Michelle Levey °°"

“What lies before us and what lies behind us is a small matter
compared to what lies within us”, said Emerson. Thoreau loved
this and added, “And when we bring what lies within us out into
the world, miracles happen.” Ultimately, the source of any
meaningful social action or inspired work lies in tapping our
inner essential resources of wisdom, love, creativity and inspi-
ration. With practice we can intentionally build these strengths

of character and qualities of mind which empower us to more

WG9 .

» 2ist, Century. ‘Tools for Learning

es Dee Dickinson De :
As individuals develop their capacities more fully — intellectu-
ally, emotionally, physically, socially, spiritually, ethically —
new possibilities emerge for all humanity. Education is a key
to this development, and in this Working Group we will identi-
fy essential skills and knowledge necessary to bring about posi-
tive change in educational systems. We will explore what
students (all of us) need to know in this world of rapid change
_ what teachers need to know to help students learn effective-
ly — and what parents, community, helping professionals and
business people need to know to catalyze and support change
in the system. We will also explore the characteristics of the
change process and how-it can be facilitated. Hopefully a joint
vision will emerge, supported by practical steps of an action plan.

WG10
Toward a Sustainable, Viable Society
Willis Harman and Tom Hurley

The question clearly before us is how human society on the planet
is to become sustainable and viable for the long term. A broad
conception of sustainable society involves at least the following
components: sustainable interaction with the planetary life-
support systems; sufficient fairness, as perceived by all people,
to lead to stability and coherence; enough diversity of cultures
to lead to resilience, and to perceptions of individual and cul-
tural acceptability; sufficient opportunities to contribute to the
society, and to be affirmed and appreciated in return, to create
a sense of solidarity and sturdy social fabric; a fundamental re-
perception of national and global security such that there is an
end to the folly of pursuing “national security” through military
strength. ‘The task seems so complex we are tempted to leave
it to the experts. But our real hope is in seeing the issues sim-
ply, and our salvation in the actions of ordinary people. This
Working Group will explore the dynamics of profound global
change, identify the implications for our lives, professions and
communities, and ask: How can individuals contribute most fully
and meaningfully?

A Window to Ourselves
Winston Franklin and Charles Garfield

In today’s world our diagnostic capacities have outstripped our
healing capabilities. Many critically ill people know with some
precision what their illness is, what its likely progression will
be, and that there is no known cure. Patients frequently are given
a “window” of remaining time in their lives. These “windows”
may enable the patients, and others connected with them (fami-
ly, friends, providers), to “awaken” to deeper meaning in their
lives and to identify the elements and dimensions of real value
in a way that those of us who have the luxury of assuming a
more distant or unknown time of death do not. Simply being
with individuals during this stage of their lives frequently calls
forth behavior from us that is distinctly different from our usu-
al patterns. In this Working Group we will share our experiences
and insights, and participate in some experiential exercises to
help each of us gain a personal glimpse of life through this “win-
dow.” We will share with each other how it feels to be in this
space and what behaviors seem most appropriate.
“WG12
New Frontiers in Business:
The Search for a Sustainable Future
Juanita Brown and Sherrin Bennett

Are the images, associations and feelings implicit in OUT con-
temporary views of corporate and organizational existence the
ones we really want to guide and motivate us — or are there
richer, more life enhancing visions that can illuminate our search
to create a sustainable future? In this highly interactive Work-
ing Group we will explore this question by imaginatively plac-
ing ourselves in the future, asking: What would a sustainable
global future look like if it were already in full flower? What
would have happened that allowed us, personally and collec-
tively, to choose to transform our ways of being, doing and hav-
ing? How did business, as a primary force on the planet, renew
itself and shift its underlying assumptions and operating princi-
ples to participate in the global mind change? What creative role

did leaders and members at all organizational levels play?

Through deepening these and other questions in a process of
focused dialogue and scenario building, we will explore new

images of business for a new era, including the emerging story

of “corporation as community.”

Morning Meditations

The Eye of an Eagle, Heart of a Lion, Hand of a Woman
Rachel Naomi Remen

This old formula for the nature of the physician/healer suggests the need for a balance of yin and yang in
both the medical system and in those who work within it. Dr. Remen will discuss Daoist theories of
wholeness, examine some of the major problems of the current medical system as an outcome of yin/yang
imbalance and, by means of case studies, demonstrate the effectiveness and power of a more yin ap-
proach to illness. An opportunity to understand the reform of our current system in a new way.

Second to None: Business in the Ecological Age
Charles Garfield

The “new story of business” in a fast-paced era of global competition marks the end of the corporation as
we know it. Our fragmented business methods and models are inadequate to deal with today’s tumultuous times.
As we progress through the 90's, it is clear that our major business challenges — from improving product
and service quality to embracing employee crises — cannot be understood in isolation. Charles Garfield

presents a “living systems” model of the corporation that can begin to address these interconnected issues.

What Do We Really Know About Psychosocial Interventions in Health & Healing?
Panelists include: Brendan O’Regan, Robert Lehman, Lucy Waletzky

Psychosocial approaches to health promotion and disease treatment involve people more directly in their
own health and healing and contribute to a broader view of both mind and body. In this interactive panel,
leaders in mind/body research and education will review the current state-of-the-art with respect to psy-
chosocial interventions from the perspectives of public policy, research, clinical practice and education.

Emerging Paradigms in Business & Organizations
Panelists include: Willis Harman, Juanita Brown, Kenneth Pelletier

New models of organization development and transformation are being created by visionary people and
groups in the business community — models that incorporate the values of personal excellence, social
responsibility and community. Thesc emerging paradigms nourish individual conscience and creativity and
enable organizational learning in response to a rapidly changing social environment. In this panel, key
features of these adaptive paradigms will be explored.

Emerging Paradigms in Business and Society:
Program Development for IONS
Willis Harman, Juanita Brown, David Isaacs
and Winston Franklin

In Swedish, the word for business is narings liv which means
“nourishment and life.” IONS has received a seed grant, the Nar-
ings Liv Fund, to support efforts that will further our under-
standing of Emerging Paradigms in Business and Scciety.
Interested members and guests are invited to join in a collabora-
tive search to shape the nature and direction of this Institute pro-
gram. The “business of business” is clearly changing from narrow
economic objectives such as “return on investment” to more en-
compassing concepts like “sustainable development.” However,
do even these shifts represent sufficient change in our fundamen-
tal assumptions? Changing these basic assumptions and beliefs
involves changing our entire system, and since each of us is a
part of that system, the place to begin may be within ourselves
and within our own communities. Our focus of inquiry in this
Institute will be: What are the fundamental shifts that appear
to be occurring in the emerging paradigm in business and soci-
ety? What are the links between these fundamentals and our own
capacity to contribute to the larger whole? How can IONS best
support individuals and local groups to expand and enrich the
dialogue as well as encourage opportunities for meaningful con-
tribution in ways that can make a difference?

Where Science and Religion Meet —
The Evolving Universe
Edgar Mitchell

Developments in science during the past two decades lead ines-
capably to the view that the universe is not organized as history
and classical theory has taught us. It is not a universe of parti-
cles and separateness but one that is interconnected and holis-
tic. Energy is the underlying reality and the interactive roie of
an observer is integral to the process. The three-tiered universe
simply doesn’t exist. A theory of the evolution of ener-
gy/matter/consciousness from the Big Bang will be presented
and discussed. Discussion and exercise will be used to illustrate:
the inter-connectedness of mind and matter; the role of a belief
system and how to modify it; the interaction of intuition and
rational processes; intuition as a product of the collective un-
conscious; and the human role in creating reality.

M3
Redefining Wealth and Progress
Hazel Henderson

Current economic theory is far too one-dimensional. When you
have a multi-dimensional world, the quality of life needs to be
measured in a multi-dimensional way. How we count determines
what we get; counting only dollars, as in the.“ NP, has led to
much human and environmental damager-*8°" 0°) ds the view

ties based on solar energies, renewable resources, ecological

tics, work, education, media, religion, family and gender roles
that are driving changes in business and government, science

building a green global economy on individual, local govern-
ment, corporate, national government and global levels.

M4
The Taste of Sustenance
Laura B. Franklin

Amidst our deep concerns about the environment we frequent-
ly overlook our most fundamental relationships to the environ-
ment. This Institute focuses on several aspects of one such
relationship: the act of eating food. Eating is a very influential
and intimate interaction between the environment and our selves.
Yet often during this intimate exchange, our minds are wan-
dering elsewhere. In effect we disconnect from a very real and
immediate relationship to precisely that which we rely upon to
sustain us every day of our lives. We can appreciate and con-
tribute significantly to what it means to establish a sustainable
ecology by simply attending to our own fundamental relation-
ship to food. By bringing awareness to the act of eating, and
the impact of what we choose to consume, we reconnect in an
intimate, informed way with our environment. As we become
more aware of the texture, the smell and the taste of our en-
vironment through food, our relationship with nature can be re-
fined as well. The intention of this Institute is to expand this
awareness through discussion and experiential exercises. We will
examine the ramifications of our food consumption patterns and
the environmental and economic consequences of our appetite.
We will also explore the role of diet and nutrition in sustaining
our physical and spiritual well-being according to principles of
Wester, Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese medical systems.
Participants will be exposed to specific tastes and introduced
to the medicinal properties associated with readily available herbs
and foods.

What are “‘noetic sciences”?

The Institute of Noetic Sciences, founded in
1973, is a research foundation, an educational
institution, and a membership organization. The
word “noetic” is derived from the Greek word
for mind, intelligence and transcendental know-
ing. The “noetic sciences” bring our full range of
diverse modes of knowing to the study of con-
sciousness, the mind and human potential.

We are explorers, and the most compelling frontier of our
time is human consciousness. Our quest is a new vision for humanity, one which
integrates science and spirituality, and in so doing reminds us of our connectedness
to each other, to the Earth, and most particularly to our inner self.

If you are an explorer,

you are one of us...

Since 1973, the Institute of Noetic Sciences has been working diligently to bring important ideas to the
forefront of contemporary culture. The largest and oldest organization of our kind in the United States,

we provide thousands of like-minded individuals with
