The mission of Science and Nonduality (SAND) is to forge a new paradigm in spirituality, one that is not dictated by religious dogma, but rather is based on timeless wisdom traditions of the world, informed by cutting-edge science, and grounded in direct experience.

SAND honors and nurtures the exploration and experience of nonduality as a pathway to greater wisdom and wellbeing in the context of the unique challenges of the 21st century, and seeks to:

• Heal the schism between science and spirituality while forging a new understanding of what it means to be human – inspired by the mystics and grounded in modern science.
• Create a safe and authentic container for exploring, experiencing and dialoguing about the interconnectedness of all aspects of life.
• Develop and share resources to facilitate the integration of this experience into daily life.
• Celebrate the mystery of life and the love that emanates from it!

SAND is inspired to develop a vibrant community of individuals who share this vision, believing the time is right for the fragmentation of knowledge that has occurred over the last four hundred years to give way to a new integrative paradigm in which science and spirituality reenter into meaningful dialogue – bridging an empirically responsible and non-dogmatic spirituality with a humanistic science willing to consider questions of context, perception, meaning and purpose.

SAND provides for this reintegration by creating a forum for deep and respectful dialogue across disciplines – with conferences, media, online community and local gatherings.
