Join us for an exploration into the spiritual dimensions of consciousness with Dr. Joan Walton, a pioneer researcher into post-materialist understandings of the mind. As Dr. Walton posits, "Consciousness transcends the material realm, connecting individuals to a shared spiritual reality."
This event will delve into leading-edge concepts that bridge fields like quantum physics and spirituality, reflecting Dr. Walton's significant contributions to forging a spiritual research paradigm grounded in contemporary science. We'll explore how this evolving perspective can inform practical applications for personal growth and social evolution, making complex ideas accessible through experiential learning.
Dr. Walton will begin by reviewing recent research that challenges the conventional view of consciousness as solely a product of brain activity. Following this overview, our focus will shift to experiential practice, potentially incorporating methods like Bohmian Dialogue, an early research interest of Dr. Walton. This exploration aims to provide participants with an opportunity to actively engage with these novel perspectives, explore their personal significance, and consider how to integrate these insights into their understanding of self and the world.
Dr. Joan Walton is a Senior Lecturer at York St John University and a leading voice exploring the connections between consciousness, spirituality, and education. Holding a PhD focused on these areas, her work challenges purely materialist viewpoints. As Chair of the Executive Committee for the International Network for the Study of Spirituality, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Scientific and Medical Network, and a member of the Galileo Commission Steering Group. Dr. Walton is at the forefront of international research and dialogue, investigating consciousness from scientific, philosophical, and spiritual perspectives and pioneering approaches to Consciousness Education.
