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, For further informati6n call (317),297-57,33 (9am-5pm EST)Approved For Release 2003/09/10 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.

F1 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 Z@ 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. Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0400300008-3 F2 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. F3 Quantum Shamans at the Edge of Science Beverly Rubik As director of a new academic center on the "frontier sciences," those areas of science that remain outside of the mainstream, Beverly Rubik has built a global network of open-minded international scientists.

Z@ F4 lnnei7 Work & Social Transfoi-mation: Weaving Po)@er, Wisdom, Love and Cr@-ativity Together Joel and Michelle Levey This hiahly experiential and interactive Institute is 0 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- C tion; strategies for building "right relations"; strategies for "personal energy management"; integrating active and quiet inind 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 chanae/healing.

Edyne Decker, California; and Dr. Barbara McNeill, Institute of Noetic Sciences. Drawing frorn 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. F6 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 their work. It is also for any work group seeking to function more productively and happily. This conference provides an excellent opportunity for you to meet others who share your visions, ideas and ideals. There will'be numerous opportunities to let others know about your interests and work, to form new relationships, and to continue learning in a varie- ty of ways.

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. Keynote Address 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.

G Emertiug@Seientirle, Worl Exploring 0 Beve,rly' kubik 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, clectromedicine, 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. He~n theAnla gin4l Realm e "i un eg es oi Therapy. 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. ...... WG3 Does1 Ihe Wm Id, Know. What It Is Doing: Critical .I][ssue s in Mind-IDoIdy Research .Hams 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 WG4 iative $tates an& Creativity frank.Putnam. 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 aftacks@ 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 after 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. ThisWOTking 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.

WG8 Inspired Lffe: Cultivating Transformative Qualities of Nfind 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 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 hoA- it can be facilitated. Hopefully a joint vision will emerge, supported by practical steps of an action plan. ...... . WGIO Toward a Sustainable, Viable Society Wdlis 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? 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 inia-es. associations and feelings implicit in our con- I - 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." 12 Approved For Relelasq,,2110013/09/10.: CIA-RDP96-00792RO00i Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0400300008-3 SATURDAY..EVENTS 7:30-8:30 am Morning Meditations 9:00-9:45 am Keynote Address 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.

Closing Celebration The Reality of Global Mind Change Only the weekend has ended; our journeys continue, yet they are less solitary than before. We pause to consider the meaning of our time together. Perhaps we have been changed: we are explorers with renewed individual purpose, deeper connections to one another, and greater capacities to shape today and tomorrow. Before we say goodbye, we are mindful of the vision we shared, and of the reality we glimpsed for a sustainable and magnificent global future. Renewed, we return to our everyday lives and our communities to make that vision a reality. For Release'21 Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0400300008-3 T 0 8 T, C 0, N.

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 Society. 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? M2 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 role 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. M 3 Redefining Wealth and Progress Hazel Henderson U T E S, many-faceted movements and citizen actions in culture, poli- tics, work, education, media, religion, family and gender roles that are driving changes in business and government, science and technology and international relations. We will investigate 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 Western, 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. Current 'economic theory is far too one-dimensional.
