SUMMARY:Detox Your Mind - Day Retreat - Christchurch
DESCRIPTION:Behind the Scenes of Reality – Sydney – Aug 2026  								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n									Date and timeTuesday\, 18 August 2026 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM LocationJoseph Sargeant Community Centre About the eventThe world we experience appears solid\, stable\, and familiar. We see objects. We experience time. We believe we understand what is real. But is reality truly what it seems? Modern science continues to challenge many of our assumptions about the universe. At the same time\, contemplative traditions have spent centuries investigating the nature of consciousness through direct observation and inquiry. This thought-provoking talk explores the fascinating intersection of science\, philosophy\, and contemplative wisdom to examine one of humanity’s greatest mysteries: What is reality\, and what role does consciousness play in experiencing it? Together\, we will explore questions such as: Is reality independent of the observer?How does the mind construct our experience of the world?Can consciousness reveal aspects of reality that lie beyond our ordinary perception?What insights can modern science and ancient wisdom offer when considered together?Whether you are curious about consciousness\, fascinated by science\, or seeking a deeper understanding of existence\, this talk offers an opportunity to explore these profound questions from a fresh perspective. Join us for an evening of discovery as we look beyond appearances and explore what may lie behind the scenes of reality.
