IONS at 35!

For thirty-five years, since our founding in 1973 by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, IONS has continued to show courageous leadership in challenging limited ideas of human capacity.

Our work and our findings continually demonstrate that humanity is more interconnected than we ever imagined, and that we have capacities that are far greater than we ever realized.

In a time of both extraordinary promise and increasing peril, we hope you will agree that our research and education initiatives are more relevant than ever. Informed by the best science and the most inspiring, provocative thinkers on the planet, we must continue to explore what it means to live a truly conscious life.

When you are at the frontier, you depend upon truly visionary and courageous philanthropy. Please consider making a very special gift to IONS this anniversary year and invest with us in changing the story of our future.
— James O'Dea, IONS President, 2008
