Thank You for Attending

I Don’t End Here: Biofield Science and Healing

Our enormous gratitude goes out to everyone who joined us for “I Don’t End Here”, at the IONS 18th International Conference.

Our goal with this workshop was to work together to ignite the healing potential within all of us and perpetuate a healing revolution. Thank you for connecting with us on this journey. We hope you gained insight and knowledge and left inspired to share with others.

We were delighted that our all-day workshop was packed to standing room only, and the atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm for our speakers, who included luminaries such as Bruce Lipton, Larry Dossey, Cassandra Vieten, Dean Radin, Beverly Rubik, Rollin McCraty, Jude Currivan, Sraddhalu Ranade, Lissa Rankin, Emanuel Kuntzelman, Eileen Day McCusick, Paul Mills, and CHI’s core team of Shamini Jain, Richard Hammerschlag and David Muehsam.

Enjoy a listen to Shamini’s poem, “I Don’t End Here” set to a selection of images from our experiential workshop.

The buzz in the room was amazing, and we felt it reflected a growing understanding that as we begin to connect the science and practice of healing  … 

Our speakers spoke about these topics from diverse perspectives, leading experiential moments and discussing the art and science of healing from perspectives such as cosmology, the role of intention in healing, community and social coherence, biofields in health and medicine, and the Earth as healer. 

We feel truly blessed that this remarkable group of people came together for a day of synergizing and experiencing our interconnectedness and innate capacities for healing. The buzz in the room was amazing, and we felt it reflected a growing understanding that as we begin to connect the science and practice of healing we are making steps towards becoming more whole, helping to heal each other and our planet.

The theme of the meeting, “I Don’t End Here”, expressed the idea that we are more than just our physical bodies, that our consciousness extends into our interpersonal social networks, and quite literally extends into the space we share. In the sciences, this is reflected in the idea that life is composed of biofields, interpenetrating fields of energy and information is emerging in modern sciences such as systems biology, mind-body medicine, bioelectromagnetics, physics and psychosocial genomics. And many healers know this intuitively, understanding that our connection with the Cosmos and humanity plays key roles in our wellbeing and ability to heal.

Authentic, Experiential and Inspiring!

Bringing together a worldwide collaborative of luminary healers, biofield scientists, artists and spiritual activists CHI set out to highlight the art and science of the biofield as it relates to consciousness and cosmology, fostering impact in science and medicine.

I cannot stop talking and sharing about the IONS Conference, especially the Biofield Science and Healing … It has changed my life. It has validated my work.
