ITPI Conference 2010

The Intention of the Universe: Our Evolutionary Destiny

Featuring Jeffrey J. Kripal, Professor of Religious Studies, Rice University
and Michael Murphy, Co-Founder, ITP and Esalen Institute

Friday, June 11, 2010, 1 pm - 9 pm
Saturday, June 12, 2010, 9 am - 6:30 pm

Superheroes aren’t born. They’re made. That’s the good news from Professor Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of Authors of the Impossible from The University of Chicago Press. At our conference, Jeff will explain how in every life, there are magical moments when the world begins to behave like a movie or a novel, and if you can “wake up” to the story unfolding, you can control its direction—and achieve the impossible.

To support his thesis, Jeff will provide concrete examples of authors, artists, and spiritual practitioners—including the late George Leonard of ITP—who seized creative control of their lives and works. Michael Murphy, co-founder of ITP and of the Esalen Institute, will join Jeff to discuss how each of us can recognize and embrace our own paranormal powers, just as the superheroes of popular culture embrace theirs. The key is to be prepared—in mind, body, heart, and soul—to meet our respective moments. In so doing, we can begin to write and perform in a brighter, lighter, and more fulfilling future.

Please attend our conference on June 11th and 12th. We’ll talk, move, laugh, dance, meditate, share, learn, eat, drink, and think—not necessarily in that order. We’ll have a silent auction, too.
