Dear friends and colleagues,
We are delighted to announce that the program for the 2026 MSR Research Colloquium, "The Mystical and Research: Dwelling at the Threshold of Knowing", is now available on the colloquium website:
https://msr.aom.org/events/colloquium
This year's colloquium brings together a global community of scholars and practitioners to explore how mystical experience may be embodied, researched, taught, and brought into leadership, management, and organizational life. The program includes a rich range of topics, including science and mystical experience; dreams, divination, and timelessness; spiritual transformation and ontological agility; forgiveness and gratitude; sacred leadership; healing and empowerment; spiritual research paradigms, methodologies, and evaluation criteria; the ethics of researching the transcendence; the researcher's inner journey; higher consciousness in higher education; and more.
In the coming weeks, we will continue updating the program information as we receive additional materials from presenters. We will also share a series of session and speaker highlights through the MSR discussion board and social media channels, offering glimpses into the diverse forms of inquiry, practice, and presence that will shape this exciting gathering. Please stay tuned!
We warmly invite you to visit the colloquium website, review the program, and register through the "Register on Eventbrite" button on the webpage!
Warm regards,
MSR Research Colloquium Organizing Committee
