Featuring an appearance, via Skype, by Apollo 14 Astronaut and IONS Founder Dr. Edgar Mitchell, and a talk by Richmond Neurologist Anna Hristova, M.D. (“Dr. Ani”)
• A Celebration of Central Virginia IONS Community Group’s 20th Anniversary a Skype appearance by Dr. Edgar Mitchell, IONS Founder and Apollo 14 Astronaut, to help us commemorate and celebrate the 20th Anniversary and Birthday of our Richmond and Central Virginia IONS Community Group, “born” in January 1996.
We are especially thankful for this opportunity since few community groups endure this long and continue to enjoy the broad base of community support ours has. That itself is exciting, gratifying and worth celebrating, and we are doubly excited and gratified that Dr. Edgar Mitchell, IONS’ distinguished founder, will join us on this happy occasion.
• A talk entitled “The Coming Era of the Cosmic Human,” by Richmond neurologist and spiritual philosopher, Anna Hristova, M.D. (“Dr. Ani”). Dr. Ani’s talk will focus on exciting new developments in science and spirituality and the interface between them that signal the dawn of a new era, one she refers to as the era of the cosmic human.
She will explore with us some of the anticipated breakthroughs of this new era, such as how to discover and master the universal energetic matrix, how science, philosophy, religion and other institutions are likely to change, how human consciousness and human potentials are likely to expand, and how we can integrate this new knowledge into our own lives and become transformed from citizens of Earth to citizens of the Galaxy and larger Cosmos.
Dr. Ani is back by popular demand, and we can scarcely imagine a more fitting speaker and topic to launch our second twenty years.
About Our Presenters:
Dr. Edgar Mitchell was an Apollo astronaut and the Lunar Module Pilot of Apollo 14, which landed on the Moon on February 5, 1971. The transformational experience of space travel and walking on the Moon inspired Dr. Mitchell to dedicate his life to exploring the frontiers of human knowledge, consciousness and potential here on Earth.
With that objective in mind, he founded The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) in 1974 and has been its central and most inspiring figure and chief ombudsman ever since.
Anna Hristova, M.D., popularly known as “Dr. Ani,” is a Richmond area neurologist with 25 years of practice experience and training in some of the best universities in the USA and abroad.
As a neurologist, she is trained to diagnose and treat disorders which result from abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord and remainder of the central nervous system. She also has 30 years of esoteric training and practices on three continents. She teaches how science and fate can merge.
