Our Mission

We live in a world shaped in every aspect by scientific materialism, a legacy of the scientific revolution as it unfolded over three centuries. Our institutions, our businesses, our religions—our very motivations and psyches—have been built around this understanding of the world, which has brought us both material progress and a growing sense of spiritual isolation in a vast universe. 

Over the last century, a new story has been unfolding through discoveries in physics, the life sciences and consciousness studies; through new insights in philosophy and spirituality; and a renaissance in access to altered states of consciousness.  

This story restores our sense of wonder, of wholeness, of connectedness, of meaning. It has profound implications for our relationship with the earth, with the entire universe; with each other; with our creative capabilities and how they are expressed in our business, politics, the arts and religious institutions.

Please join us as we share this new story as told by leading thinkers, scientists, spiritual leaders, and media icons from around the world. This inaugural event will be held in Aspen, a place with an outsized cultural megaphone and a majestic backdrop that reminds us of our deep connection with each other and the natural world.
