Noetic Science

For more than 37 years, the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) has employed the rigor of science, balanced by personal and collective wisdom to support a shift of consciousness that transforms present global conditions into a world grounded in freedom, wisdom, and compassion.
Our mission is to advance the science of consciousness and human experience to serve individual and collective transformation. It is our conviction that systematic inquiries into consciousness will catalyze positive concrete transformations in the world. In this process, it is our vision that we may help foster the recognition of our basic interconnectedness and interdependence and promote the flourishing of life in all its magnificent forms. Noetic sciences are explorations into the nature and potentials of consciousness using multiple ways of knowing ourselves and the world, including empirical science, intuition, feeling, reason, and the senses.
