The Scientific & Medical Network

Where evidence-based reasoning meets deep inner wisdom

50 years working in education

The Scientific and Medical Network is a creative international forum for lifelong transformative learning.

The Network is part of a worldwide contemporary movement for assimilating spiritual understanding. We bring together scientists, doctors, psychologists, engineers, philosophers, complementary practitioners and other professionals, in a spirit of open and critical enquiry, to explore frontier issues at the interfaces between science, consciousness, wellbeing and spirituality.

Insights gained from engaging in our extensive educational activities enable our Members to initiate informed transformative change in the world, and in their personal and professional lives.
