Our Mission
Our Mission
Science and Wisdom Live transforms the hearts and minds of people across the planet to lead the world through the challenges of our time. Guided by compassion, ethics and wisdom, we offer research-based contemplative education empowering communities to:
Lead a happy and meaningful life
Find hope and build resilience
Address global problems with creativity and compassion
Our Motivation
The great challenges of our times constitute an extraordinary opportunity for positive change. While living in unprecedented material wealth, our society is threatened by the loss of environmental resources and the fragmentation of human values. The collective challenges we are facing compel us to investigate new tools to promote individual and collective well-being, grounded in ethical values and informed by scientific research.
Scope
The dialogues are based on the ideas of societal wisdom: the deliberate use of human knowledge and experience to cultivate well-being. As a long-term series, these dialogues aim to enrich our insight, wisdom, and understanding of mind and life. Each dialogue investigates a specific sub-theme and explores the middle ground between science and contemplative traditions. Beyond our live events, we extend this exploration through online courses and our video library offering deeper, self-paced learning. Although each dialogue has a specific theme, its scope transcends the individual topic: like the butterfly effect, each dialogue will resonate with all other dialogues – past and future.
Themes
Each dialogue touches upon specific sub-themes where science and contemplative traditions intersect, such as the ethics of artificial intelligence, gender equality, climate change, and the benefits of mindfulness and meditation for mental health. During each dialogue the speakers will explore the common ground between science and contemplative traditions, while inviting debate and respecting the differences that will, inevitably, arise.
