THE SCIENCE AND NONDUALITY CONFERENCE is held annually in California and brings together scientists, philosophers, artists, spiritual practitioners, movement teachers and experientialists to explore various approaches to nonduality, from the Sanskrit word advaita meaning "not two", the notion that all reality is fundamentally a single inseperable essence.
The next SAND conference will be held from October 19-23, 2011 in San Rafael, California.

THE INSTITUE FOR NOETIC SCIENCES (IONS) is a nonprofit membership organization located in Northern California that conducts and sponsors leading-edge research into the potentials and powers of consciousness—including perceptions, beliefs, attention, intention, and intuition.
The Institute maintains a commitment to scientific rigor while exploring phenomena that have been largely overlooked by mainstream science.

THE CENTER FOR CONSCIOUSNESS focuses on the nature of consciousness, the nature of representation and intentionality, and on the relationship between these domains. A broad approach is taken to these issues, bringing in relevant work from numerous neighboring areas of philosophy and of cognitive science.
Along with its ongoing research activities, the Center organizes regular lectures, and organizes a number of focused conferences and workshops every year.
