In a recent interview on RTL TV’s ´Europe Connected´ business programme, Alef Trust co-founders, Professor Les Lancaster and Dr Jessica Bockler, reflect on their distinctive educational approach - emphasising rigorous scholarship, relational learning, and the value of a global online community that feels genuinely connected.

Alef Trust works at the meeting point of inner development and real-world application. Its programmes in psychology, consciousness, and human development combine academic depth with reflective practice; supporting students to bring greater clarity, presence, and responsibility into their professional, creative, and community lives. In this highlight, Les & Jessica offer an insight into their work and the educational perspective that underpins it.

What does it mean to be fully human in an age of global complexity? This short film by Tommy Gärdh of Visionary Films Stockholm brings together reflections from the Creative Bridges EUROTAS gathering in Oxford to explore that question.

Through insights from leading voices in transpersonal psychology, the video explores how becoming more fully human begins with inner attention, embodiment, and relationship. Transpersonal psychology is presented not as an abstract pursuit, but as a whole-person approach that builds bridges between ancient wisdom traditions and contemporary research, grounding consciousness in lived experience, ecology, and place.

Speakers reflect on the metacrisis shaping our world and the sense of disorientation it can bring. Rather than dispersing ourselves across every global problem, the invitation is to return home to ourselves, to recognise our specific role, and to serve from where we are rooted. Silence, inward listening, and embodied awareness emerge as foundations for authenticity, responsibility, and values-led action.

As echoed throughout the conference, what distinguishes this work is not only the study of consciousness, but a deep commitment to values. The question is not simply what we know, but how we live, and what kind of world we are shaping for future generations.

The film reflects both the spirit of the gathering and the wider work of Alef Trust: connecting inner transformation with collective responsibility, and insight with service.

It is often assumed that in order to make change to the current paradigm you have to fight by going against the mainstream flow. Changemakers and activists get used to and indentify with the position of struggling upstream.

There is, of course, truth to that, but at high cost a lot of the time: burning out, falling out and dropping out. Going against the flow can be exhausting!

What does changemaking look like, if you turn the boat around and go with the flow, downstream?

This, amongst other fascinating themes are explored in the Embodied Permaculture Project podcast. Listen to the whole series at https://beingearthbound.substack.com - you'll find the link in bio!

To experience the impacts of embodiment work yourself, take the Embodied Permaculture Course at your own pace at home or join the Earthbound Practice Circle at earthbound.fi. You can find links in our bio! 🌞

This work was made possible through funding from @aleftrust as part of their Conscious Communities Initiative and was realised in collaboration with @permaculture_uk

🎭 Theater of the Deep - Exploring Consciousness Through Online Theater 🎭

What happens when online theater becomes a space for exploring consciousness?

ICRL, the Scientific and Medical Network, and the Pari Center are coming together for Theater of the Deep, a creative collaboration that invites actors, playwrights, and curious participants to explore big questions through performance, imagination, and dialogue.

Featured plays by Jeff Dunne include: The Boundaries of One’s Self │ The Pterodactyl Effect │ A Snowball’s Chance │ Finding New Roses

This project begins with a simple but inspiring premise: that online theatre can be fun, participatory, and a meaningful way to explore the deeper dimensions of consciousness.

Casting is currently open, and there are opportunities to get involved as an actor or playwright!

📅 May 31 │ 12 PM EDT │ Casting Now Open

A new paper in Consciousness, Spirituality, and Transpersonal Psychology investigates how do we make sense of powerful psychedelic experiences once the journey itself has ended?

In her article, “Rewilding Ourselves through Psychedelic Integration: Participation in the ACER Integration Cycle”, Rosie Leeson explores the lived experience of psychedelic integration through the ACER framework: Accept, Connect, Embody, Restore.

Published in the Alef Trust Journal, this study draws on intuitive inquiry and interviews with adults taking part in the ACER integration cycle. The findings highlight psychedelic integration as a deeply personal, non-linear process, one that unfolds over time and is strengthened by embodiment, reflective practice, and community support.

The research points to the importance of creating grounded, nurturing spaces where people can integrate insights from non-ordinary states of consciousness into everyday life.

Paths to Knowing Consciousness and Reality: From the Indigenous to the Academic

How do we come to know reality? Through science, mathematics and academic inquiry? Through direct experience, nature connection, dreaming, ritual and indigenous wisdom? Or through a deeper conversation between them all?

Part of the Science of Consciousness Series, this seven-day gathering at The Pari Center invites participants to explore consciousness and reality from multiple perspectives, bringing together western intellectual traditions with older experiential paths of knowing.

Across the week, speakers will examine questions at the heart of human existence:
🌿 What is consciousness?
🌿 What is reality?
🌿 How are the self, nature and the universe connected?
🌿 Can indigenous knowledge and modern science speak meaningfully to one another?
🌿 How might practices such as Qigong, shamanism, dreaming and nature connection expand our understanding of reality?
🌿 What can quantum thinking, ancient wisdom and lived experience teach us about disconnection, anxiety and reconnection?

This is not a conventional conference. Set in the medieval Tuscan village of Pari, the event offers a participatory space for lectures, dialogue, reflection, shared meals, community practice and personal inquiry. Participants are invited not only to listen, but to engage, connect, question and contribute their own insights.

Speakers include Jonathan Allday, Vicente Arraez, Vasileios Basios, Apela Colorado, Alvaro Doethiro Tukano, Ruro Caituiro Monge, Aimee Morgana, Robin Rice and Francisco Rivarola. Curated and chaired by Jeff Dunne.

Thanks to generous foundation funding, three full scholarships are available, preferably for young minds wishing to attend.

✨ WHERE COURAGE MEETS CONNECTION✨
In a world shaped by division and uncertainty, there is strength in connection — in choosing to listen, to learn from one another, and to stay open to change even when it feels uncomfortable. 🤝

At the Caux IDG Forum 2026: "Alchemy of Forgiveness", we will explore how courage, dialogue, and collective reflection can help us rebuild trust and create pathways toward a better future together.

As one participant shared at the 2025 Forum, true courage lies in “staying open to change” — open to listening, (un)learning, and growing alongside others.

Because forgiveness is not passive. It’s an active process of finding common ground, strengthening relationships, and imagining new possibilities together.
