Rising Tide: Science & Mystery

How can cutting-edge science help rekindle our appreciation for mystery? Join us for an online inquiry lead by Chamkaur Ghag, leading astroparticle physicist who will be sharing about the relationship between science and the unknown. This is a topic that came up a lot during our residency with Iain McGilchrist, which Chamkaur also attended: the best of science came out of a deep engagement with deep philosophical truths, by letting the mysteries of life fully in. Nowadays we relate to science as something that expels uncertainty ... and yet, the more we know and the more we know that we don't know. 

This online series is under the auspices of The Raft, a network and center of gravity for people committed to cultivating a sound society through practical skills, mystical inquiry, and active citizenship.These are times of crisis and possibility. Our homes, and the literal and imaginary landscapes we inhabit, are becoming unrecognisable. While some are rushing to solutions, we feel that regenerating our failing civilisation will require stepping into mystery and asking difficult questions.
