Consciousness and Attention: The science of spirituality

Where does it come from and did it arise with the origin of the Universe?

A two-day experience for anyone who has ever wondered about how the Universe came into existence and what consciousness is. With Joe Griffin and Ivan Tyrrell. The human mind has an innate need to find meaning, even in the most trivial happenings. On a day-to-day basis that search is mainly concerned with securing personal advantage, but many thoughtful people also want to understand the mysteries of existence, the greatest of which is said to be how consciousness arose and what happens to it when we die. The tutors have spent much of their adult life exploring this topic and you are invited to spend a weekend with them on a revolutionary course devoted to this most fundamental, cosmic yet intimate aspect of human life. As well as exploring spiritual insights from the wisdom traditions they will demonstrate how genuine mystical insights are compatible with scientific theory and show why, though any scientific theory can be right, it can yet leave out a vital piece of what we all perceive is important: our unique, subjective experience of consciousness.
