Exploring the complementary roles of scientific and mystical approaches to reality for over 40 years.
Upcoming Event
Consciously Connecting With The Deep Wisdom of Nature
For over 40 years since 1978 the annual Mystics and Scientists conferences have been dedicated to forging a creative understanding of the complementary roles of scientific and mystical approaches to reality. These conferences provide a highly engaging and creative opportunity to come together with like-minded people in a spirit of exploration and dialogue leading to new contacts and friendships to continue the conversation.
Testimonials

“Non-stop delightful discovery and endless conversation.”
“I value the people and connections as much as the subject and speakers.”
“My second event. It gets better and better. I feel isolated in London. Here I get a sense of ‘group’. Fabulous talks.”

History
The first Mystics and Scientists conference was held in 1978 as ’The May Lectures’ in conjunction with Wrekin Trust. The event was so successful that it became an annual event run by Malcolm Lazarus and Sir George Trevelyan and has featured well over 150 distinguished speakers in the 42 conferences held so far. The Network took over the running of the conferences in the early 1990s
