***********************
Mission of the Rhine: The Rhine Research Center explores the frontiers of consciousness and exceptional human experiences in the context of unusual and unexplained phenomena. The Rhine’s mission is to advance the science of parapsychology, to provide education and resources for the public, and to foster a community for individuals with personal and professional interest in psi.*
*Psi is defined as anomalous processes of information or energy transfer, such as telepathy or psychokinesis, that are currently unexplained in terms of known physical or biological mechanisms.

The three pillars of the Rhine are Research, Education, and Community. The Rhine is the premier research center for parapsychology in the country, provides events and an online school for students of parapsychology, and an active community of volunteers and members who have their own experiences are or interested in psi phenomena.

PSI in Christianity, 4-week course with Jimmy Akin
·OnlineOnlineChristianity is the world’s largest religion. Approximately a third of the global population identifies as Christian, which has been influential in the development of parapsychology. Yet many have the impression that Christianity and parapsychology are incompatible and that all psychic phenomena are demonic deceptions. Even many Christians have the impression that “it’s always demons.” However, the scope of Christian thought is actually broader, and historic Christian thinkers have been open to psi phenomenon.
This course surveys the scope of Christian thought on parapsychological topics including extra-sensory perception (ESP), psychokinesis (PK), the survival of bodily death, and Church-sponsored field investigations of paranormal phenomena like apparitions, miracles, and spirit possession.

Introduction to Lucid Dreaming: 4-week course w/Robert Waggoner & Jeffrey Peck
Location not specified yetThis course will introduce you to the science, practice, and potential of Lucid Dreaming, the conscious realization of dreaming while in and working with the dream state. Topics covered will include a variety of lucid dream induction techniques, methods to stabilize and explore the lucid dream state, scientific research on lucid dreaming, and potential activities to engage in while lucidly aware (e.g., accessing creativity, enhancing emotional or physical health, engaging a responsive inner awareness, seeking information outside of one’s knowledge, and conducting spiritual practices).
We will also look at lucid dreaming and topics in the field of parapsychology, such as lucid dreams and deceased dream figures, precognitive and telepathic information in lucid dreams and more, along with thoughtful approaches to examining the results of personal experiments. We will also provide supportive advice for those who wish to use lucid dreaming for their own purposes.
