THE SCIENCE AND MYSTERY OF PERCEPTION Perception underpins all human behavior and helps interpret sensory information to make sense from the senseless. The brain, to create meaning where there is possibly none, processes perception from the unperceived and thought from the unthinkable. The process of perception is in fact one of creation. What we perceive is not what is out there or within. There is no inherent value in the incredibly complex patterns of light that fall onto our eyes, and yet we see coherent forms and motions that enable us to survive. Exploring the nature of perception can help us glimpse life beyond experiencer and experience, perceiver and perception.

Feedback from SAND 2012, The Netherlands
The first SAND conference in Europe was yet another amazing journey that hinted at becoming a historical event. We are finding new ways of being together with radical honesty, curiosity and openness freely exploring who we truly are as human beings. We feel we are part of a new arising spirituality which as Jeff Foster says “is radically inclusive and accessible spirituality free from the dogma and ideology and blind belief of the past, a spirituality in which nothing and nobody - including the teachers themselves - can escape the loving light of ruthless inquiry and blinding transparency, in which nobody can claim any kind of absolute truth or privileged knowledge.” Thank you everyone for your exquisite presence and support.
