The IONS Discovery Lab: Research on Transformation

About this session

Dr Helané Wahbeh will take you on a journey to explore the science of interconnectedness. She will review the IONS Discovery Lab, a synergistic handshake between science and direct experience. IONS Discovery Lab (IDL) that we pronounce “ideal” aims to provide a service for workshop leaders to evaluate their offerings providing them evidence-based results, curate the largest dataset on experiential learning practices in the world, and use this knowledge to develop exception science-informed noetic training programs. Like the Framingham Heart study that unlocked the mysteries of heart disease, or the Human Genome Project that illuminated the building blocks of being human, IDL will change how we understand human potential, how we understand the nature of reality, and who we are as humans in this interconnected reality. Dr. Helané will take you step by step through what IDL is, how it operates, how you can get involved, and preliminary results on how transformative practices and experiences influence well-being, creativity, intuition, and extraordinary human capacities. Finally, she will discuss how the synergistic partnership of holistic centers around the world will catapult the speed with which we discover answers about transformation and how to maximize it in this pivotal time in human history.
