Hi friends, A few weeks ago, Zach along with collaborators Mike and Alex, produced an extraordinary event at Esalen Institute to launch the Ennea Explorer's Club (which is also supported by namuna through our Communities program). The Ennea Explorer’s Club is a a patron funded, peer network for the top explorers of today and the future, whose work explores consciousness, and the nature of reality. During our time at Esalen – scientists, physicists, government intelligence agents, mystics, gurus, shamans, practitioners, academics and patrons gathered to talk about, experience, and share how all of us uniquely interact with, attempt to explain, or work with “the field" - humanity’s greatest mystery. Today, we have the unique ability to address this great mystery from a truly cross disciplinary approach to discover new ways of accessing and interacting with non local intelligence. This is one of the many ways this culture we're cultivating at namuna is coming together. If you're interested in getting involved or invited to gatherings like this, always reach out to us! With love, Elyse and Zach P.S. One of my favorite moments was experiencing our friends Madan and Pritam weave the poetry of Rumi, the lyrics of John Lennon, and the wisdom of Sufi mystics in a single, striking thread to share how we’re all interconnected was truly profound.
