CivicActions

The Institute of Noetic Sciences is a nonprofit membership organization located in Northern California that conducts and sponsors leading-edge research into the potentials and powers of consciousness — including perceptions, beliefs, attention, intention, and intuition. The institute explores phenomena that do not necessarily fit conventional scientific models, while maintaining a commitment to scientific rigor.

The institute is not a spiritual association, political-action group, or a single-cause institute. Rather, IONS honors open-minded approaches and multiple ways of knowing, bring discernment to their work, and support diversity of perspectives on social and scientific matters.
