Upcoming at TWU

This episode is sponsored by our upcoming Day on Changing Consciousness, taking place at the University of Greenwich on 26th June, 2022. 

This will be The Weekend University’s first ‘in person’ event in over two years, and it’s shaping up to be a special occasion. The lectures will focus on consciousness paradigms that go beyond the brain, how they work, why they matter, and how understanding them can enhance your everyday experience of reality, with talks on: 

–> Panpsychism: Is Everything Conscious? – Dr Philip Goff, PhD

–> From Ego-Centric to Eco-Centric: Changing Consciousness through Psychedelics – Dr Sam Gandy, PhD 

–> Is Reality an Illusion? – Professor Donald Hoffman, PhD (via live video link)

By attending live, you can interact with the speakers in the Q&A sessions, connect with like-minded participants during the conference, and get CPD certification. 

Should you be unable to attend in person, you’ll also be able to tune in from the comfort of home with a “Livestream Pass”.
