Dear friends and colleagues,
We warmly invite you to join us for the 2026 MSR Research Colloquium, "The Mystical and Research: Dwelling at the Threshold of Knowing."
For the second plenary of our research colloquium, we invite you to journey with us to Australia.
What might sacred and visionary leadership look like when grounded in ancestral Law, Country, ceremony, and oral teaching? In this featured plenary, Dr. Tjanara Goreng Goreng will explore Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing as pathways into leadership, inquiry, and transformation.

Across the adjacent sessions before and after this plenary, we will also explore:
