REGISTRATIONS FOR THIS EVENT WILL CLOSE TWO HOURS BEFORE THE TALK IS DUE TO START.
Join us for an enlightening talk: Embodied Liminality: Sensory isolation in floatation tanks as a method of promoting psi phenomena.
From the speaker:
Inspired by the insights and recommendation of John Lilly (1969), inventor and pioneer of the floatation tank as a means of inducing altered states of consciousness (by vastly reducing environmental stimuli), and more recently by the work of Cooper, Saunders and Hitchman (2020) who conducted a pilot study exploring the utility of floatation in a psi task. This presentation will report on the results on a subsequent, extended experiment, undertaken at the University of Northampton. During this study we explored participant performance on a precognition task, and the significance of both the experiential qualities and contents of consciousness e.g., visual imagery, sense of time and some intriguing transpersonal experiences - also, any correlations with individual differences of participants i.e., transliminality creativity and sensory processing sensitivity (see e.g., Hitchman, Rock & Roe, 2023).
Kirsty is a PhD psychology candidate focused on experimental sensory isolation research into psi phenomena and the ‘traits and states’ involved, at the University of Northampton. She also works with ICreateS and Dr Donna Thomas at University of Central Lancashire exploring the lived experience of psi phenomena with all age groups, through interviews and creative methods. She is also a key team member of Wyrd Experience which promotes mind-matter interaction and, a certified Highly Sensitive Person coach hosting a specialised learning community for sensitive people to cultivate their innate capacities of consciousness.
