Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article explains the genesis of the 'Mystics and Scientists' conferences, which have been held over a 40-year period. They were originally a collaboration between the Wrekin Trust and the Scientific and Medical Network, an interdisciplinary forum for the exploration of frontiers in science, consciousness and spirituality. I explain the interdisciplinary interfaces represented at the conferences and discuss how both science and mysticism represent a search for unity.
