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.
📅 The second plenary begins on June 12 at this time across these time zones:
🇺🇸 3:00 AM EDT — New York, North America
🇪🇺 9:00 AM CEST — Brussels, European Union
🇮🇳 12:30 PM IST — New Delhi, India
🇦🇺 5:00 PM AEST — Canberra, Australia
Across the adjacent sessions before and after this plenary, we will also explore:
- How might researchers measure the unmeasurable?
- How does mysticism speak across spiritual traditions?
- How can divination, uncertainty, and decision-making illuminate entangled systems?
- What may emerge from the researcher's inner journey through self, suffering, and graced knowing?
If you are intrigued by mystical experience, Indigenous wisdom, contemplative inquiry, sacred leadership, and transformative ways of knowing, we warmly invite you to join us.
