Let's Bridge Science & Spirituality

Let's bridge science & spirituality -- you can help! We are two neuroscientists who want to encourage curiosity and exploration of all aspects of the human experience, even those we cannot currently fully explain with science.

We help propel the paradigm shift in science by creating spaces where scientists can let their curiosity run wild (e.g. organizing Science & Spirituality Events at scientific conferences, retreats, workshops, meetings, etc).

Backstory: In 2022, at the largest neuroscience conference (Society for Neuroscience) we organized a Neuroscience & Spirituality Social and were delightedly surprised when 50+ scientists showed up, engaging enthusiastically about wide-ranging topics, such as consciousness, psychedelics, anomalous experiences, and spirituality -- topics that are usually too taboo to discuss openly with our colleagues. In 2023, we organized a symposium on alternative models of consciousness at the same conference (see video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8geWn2mxd0&t=3s).

We've sparked so much interest and would love to keep it going so that we can finally explain the unexplainable. Please consider donating so we can open more scientists' minds! =)

Why a GoFundMe? Organizing these events are very expensive!

More about us: We are Mona Sobhani, PhD and Allison Paradise, two neuroscientists who founded a collective for scientists interested in questions about the nature of our reality and consciousness. We want to encourage curiosity and exploration of all aspects of the human experience, even those we cannot currently fully explain with science (like mystical experiences, near-death experiences, etc). By sharing our own stories in multiple ways (e.g. through interviews, one of us wrote a book, events, etc), we hope to inspire other scientists to do the same.
