The spectacular progress of modern science is a double-edged sword. To be sure, scientific insights into the workings of the world, and their technological applications, have provided unprecedented understanding and transformation that have revolutionized how we live. But at the same time, such progress has enveloped many scientists within increasingly detailed and specialized pursuits, which often obscure the capacity of science to reveal universal truths that can radically elevate human experience—intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
The purpose of this project is to redress this loss by identifying and exploring effective ways for creating an ecosystem comprising scientists, philosophers, theologians, artists, musicians, composers, filmmakers and other creative thinkers from across disciplines to build a strong and impactful community inspired by the synergy between science and the human quest to connect with the deepest qualities of reality.
