Discussion: View Thread

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 our third plenary, we invite you to explore science from the inside out with Marilyn Schlitz. What if subjective experience is not something to be excluded from rigorous inquiry, but a legitimate dimension of it? Dr. Schlitz's keynote will examine inner experience as a dimension of rigorous scientific inquiry, recognizing the observer as part of the observed world. The keynote will be followed by dialogue with Flamekeepers Judi Neal and Jerry Biberman and community conversation.

📅 The third plenary takes place on June 12 at this time across these time zones:

🇺🇸 10:00–11:30 AM PDT - Vancouver / Los Angeles, North America

🇺🇸 1:00–2:30 PM EDT - New York, North America
🇪🇺 7:00–8:30 PM CEST - Brussels, European Union
🇮🇳 10:30 PM–12:00 AM IST - New Delhi, India
🇦🇺 3:00–4:30 AM AEST (next day) - Canberra, Australia

Across the earlier sessions leading into this plenary, we will also explore:

· How might dreams become pathways of transformation?
· What does it take to publish meaningful work in JMSR?
· What wisdom emerges when we dwell in the threshold and say, "done enough"?
· How might mystical experiences, forgiveness, and gratefulness reshape management research?

If you are intrigued by consciousness, contemplative inquiry, dreams, transformation, and rigorous research from the inside out, we warmly invite you to join us.
