"What I'm trying to do...is to expand the boundaries of science into areas where it's not fully equipped, but that are of profound importance to the quality of our lives and existence."

SHOW DESCRIPTION: With our political system in disarray, trust in media declining, cultural fractures deepening, and depression rates rising, many of us are turning inward to find some sanity in these chaotic times. Whether we’re turning to mindfulness, meditation, or mind-expanding substances, our exploration of inner space is advancing rapidly and bringing with it profound questions about the nature of human identity and modern society. Blending insights from psychology, philosophy, science, and spirituality, The Immersioneer Project seeks to supercharge this exploration, hone our shared understanding of inner space, and deepen human connection in the process. Basically, it’s as far from filtered selfies and fake news as you can get.
