- Free 2-year student affiliation (this includes all the benefits of the £10/year Student Membership except the right to vote at the SMN’s AGM)
- Free access to a huge video library of talks, including many past years of recorded talks from Beyond the Brain, and Mystics & Scientists conferences
- Concessionary tickets to webinars

- Undergrad and postgrad private social networking discussion spaces and file space to share research papers etc.
- Regular newsletter dedicated to your community
- The opportunity to network with the wider SMN community and ask questions in relation to your research and work.
Ultimately, we would love for you to join us to shape the kind of platform you would like to see as the SMN moves into the future. For more information, please contact Louise Livingstone (New Paradigm Navigators, Student and Young Person Support Manager) at: [email protected]
We would like to make clear that the SMN has no links to any other organisation either political or religious. For very nearly 50 years, we have been an independent educational charity, devoted simply to offering an alternative to the prevalent exclusively materialistic thinking of this Age, and also supporting interested people to develop for mutual and societal benefit. Please do see our Aims and Vision Statement.
The New Paradigm Navigators
New Paradigm Navigators (the name for our young person/next generation community of the SMN) emerged from a collaborative enquiry that began with a webinar in June 2022. The collaborative enquiry was initially called – Living in Uncertain Times: Exploring Possibilities For Young People to Take Positive Action In The World. Facilitated by the SMN’s Dr Joan Walton and Dr Louise Livingstone, the enquiry created a safe space for deep sharing and deep listening where a group of students and young people were able to come together to explore practical ways to respond constructively to issues that are affecting them on an individual, societal and global level. This project was established as an ongoing, organic, collaborative enquiry to support young people to ultimately take life-enhancing action in the world.
Each month, the core group of our next generation community meet in a spirit of open and participatory enquiry, developing ideas which carry the possibility to become individual/collaborative projects.
