Not sure if this is the right place for this (btw, shouldn't events be a board on its own rather than a thread in a sub of Philosophy?) but I want to arrange an event around our field of interest or a series of them.
I have a cafe/bookshop in East Sussex, UK so if anyone wants to work on such a thing with me then let me know.... either in organising or giving a talk yourself. Have already had a few talks and got Christopher Josiffe on "Gef the Talking Mongoose" coming up but want also some 'Skeptiko' style talks too.
The 20th Annual Conference of the Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society, entitled "Exceptional Experiences", will be on 7-8 September at Regents University, Regents Park, London. The keynote speakers will be Etzel Cardeña, Milan Scheidegger and Chris Roe:

The Soul is a UFO: Understanding and Embracing Transcendence
An Esalen seminar by Jeffrey J. Kripal and Kevin Cann on December 5–7, 2025.
Quote:Drawing on Platonic Surrealism, a framework developed by Kevin Cann, we will engage in structured dialogues and experiential exercises to explore how the metaphysical can be encountered without losing contact with embodied life. The method serves as a stabilizing interface between metaphysical vision and everyday cognition — which is especially valuable for neurodivergent thinkers, seekers disillusioned with reductionist models of the self, and anyone questioning culturally prescribed limits on identity and perception.
This seminar is part of the Super Story Series, sponsored by the Center for Theory and Research (CTR) at Esalen Institute. The series includes three thematic cycles: The Physics of Mystics, Biological Gods, and this current seminar, The Soul Is a UFO.
