25 April
I am delighted to have been asked by the famous Society for Psychical Research (SPR) to contribute to an all-day workshop on sleep and PSI. Full details below:
In this Saturday workshop, we are joined by speakers noted in their fields of psychology, anthropology, sociology, and popular authorship. ‘To Sleep Per Chance to Psi’ brings together discussion on the history of research into dreams and extra-sensory ability, cultural differences, collected cases and developing research. You will learn more about the various ways in which sleep has been studied and what exactly these altered states of consciousness present, in terms of our psychic potentials.
