The Theosophical Society in America will present a daylong conference examining consciousness, mystical experiences and psi phenomena from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 18 in Wheaton and online. The program will feature leading researchers from the University of Virginia’s Division of Perceptual Studies that will explore these topics through scientific and interdisciplinary lenses.

Presentations will focus on research into psilocybin-facilitated states, near-death and out-of-body experiences, and children’s past-life memories. Speakers will examine the nature and implications of these phenomena, drawing connections among scientific investigation, psychological perspectives and spiritual inquiry.

Throughout the day, presenters will highlight current research and its relevance to understanding transformative human experiences. The program will conclude with a panel discussion that brings together scientific and spiritual perspectives, encouraging dialogue and identifying opportunities for future research into consciousness and related phenomena.

Cost: $110 in person; $80 online. Location: 1926 N. Main St., Wheaton, or online via a private YouTube link. For more information or to register, visit Theosophical.org/psi.
