Since its launch in 2021, this annual conference has focused on closing the divide between scientific research and consciousness experiences that mainstream theories still struggle to explain.
This year’s edition includes an exciting partnership with Psi Games, a new tournament created in 2025 to explore and celebrate the full range of psychic abilities. Across the three central days, the programme will examine three core dimensions of consciousness:
Each morning features talks from leading academic researchers sharing findings in these areas. In the first half of the afternoon, participants will be invited to try practices associated with psi success. The second half of the afternoon brings the Psi Games Experience, where practitioners demonstrate their abilities and attendees can compete in a range of activities. Prizes will be awarded to the top performers.
With talks and discussions led by some of the world’s leading scientists, academics, and practitioners in consciousness studies, plus real-time experiments open to everyone, the event offers a powerful opportunity to explore what Anglo-Saxon tradition called wyrd — a deep sense of our interconnectedness with the world around us.
Key activities will be supported by Monroe Sound Science, using sound-based methods such as binaural beats, frequency, amplitude, phase modulation, and more. Monroe now uses more than 50 techniques to create sound frequencies designed to help listeners quickly enter targeted, beneficial states of expanded awareness.
The conference builds on the pioneering work of Professor Robert Jahn and Brenda Dunne, Princeton scientists who spent nearly thirty years studying our ability to influence the world through consciousness. Their research showed how closely connected we are at the informational and energetic level, and how interaction can occur beyond the usual limits of time and space.
In other words, they provided empirical evidence for what ancient wisdom traditions have long taught: our connection to the world around us is real. The survival of humankind depends on our ability to understand this for ourselves.
The event takes place at the beautiful Broughton Sanctuary, where the equipment used in these experiments is now housed. Participants can explore it firsthand, while also experiencing deep nature connection through the sanctuary’s facilities. The 2,500-acre estate includes wildflower meadows, woodland, a large nature-recovery programme, a labyrinth, fire temple, Wellbeing Center, and more.
Available to the public or for Academic Credit.
"This event will challenge you on many levels, and at the same time allow you to ask questions that you have never thought of or dreamed of. You will come away with a different perspective on life."
