***********************
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.

In 1930, J.B. Rhine began academic research into the field of parapsychology at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and in 1935 the Duke Parapsychology Labs were established. In 1965, the a nonprofit organization was formed, and today it continues as the Rhine Research Center. (Learn more about the Rhine)

Cases of the Reincarnation Type & Near-Death Experiences w/Jimmy Akin (8 wks)
·OnlineOnlineIn this eight-week academic course, students will examine two of the most carefully studied phenomena connected to the question of survival after death: Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and Cases of the Reincarnation Type (CORT). The first four weeks focus on NDEs—their characteristic features, the methods researchers use to investigate them, the range of physiological, psychological, and survival-oriented explanations, and what the strongest evidence currently reveals about consciousness near the point of death. The second four weeks turn to Cases of the Reincarnation Type, exploring the classic research approaches developed in this field, the hallmarks of the most evidential cases, possible explanations, and the implications these reports hold for personal identity and the possibility of life after death.
The course emphasizes what science can—and cannot—currently tell us about the afterlife while remaining grounded in the evidence. For both phenomena, students will learn the factual findings from decades of systematic investigation, how to evaluate competing interpretations with clarity and balance, and how these spontaneous experiences are studied outside the laboratory.This 8 week course from the Rhine Education Center may be taken as an adult education course or it may be applied towards a certificate program from the Rhine.

PEG (Psychic Experience(r)s Group: Open Discussion (ONLINE ONLY)
·OnlineOnlinePEG meetings (first Tuesday of the month) are dedicated to the discussion of personal experiences involving psi (psychic) and consciousness. We maintain a policy of honesty, privacy, and sharing without judgment. Shared experiences touch on telepathy, healing, precognition, extended senses, psychokinesis, remote viewing, dreams, haunting, reincarnation, near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, and other anomalous experiences.
As personal stories flow, ideas and inspiration begin to flow for developing our extended psi and for finding creative ways to be of greater service in the larger community.

The price of admission ($10) applies to all regular events (Dreams, Remote Viewing, PEG, and Science Team discussions) for the next 30 days - a real bargain!

Psi in Movies, TV, and Literature (4 weeks) w/ Loyd Auerbach, MS
·OnlineOnlineIs the truth really out there?
Movies and TV shows like the Exorcist, Ghost, Stranger Things, The OA, and the X-Files all represent psychic phenomena and the paranormal with great insight and often engaging stories. Of course, many of the events in these shows are completely fictional, but some of the stories actually reflect real events observed by parapsychologists! On the other hand, paranormal reality shows claim to present events and phenomena truthfully, but actually reflect a “reality” created by uninformed television producers.
This fun course will explore movies, TV (fictional and reality), and literature and separate the truth from fiction. It will explore how popular culture is influenced by psi experiences, beliefs, and misconceptions about the phenomena. More importantly, it will explore how media representations of psi influence the public's belief in PSI, even to the point of affecting how people experience PSI events when they happen.***
When: Live broadcasts once a week and recordings at your convenience.

Exploring Exceptional Experiences (8 weeks) with John G Kruth, MS
·OnlineOnlineHow do we explore spontaneous psi experiences and unusual activity that happens in daily life?
This 8-week academic course will discuss the nature of spontaneous experiences, the types of experiences explored by parapsychologists, and how researchers take a structured approach to understanding what people experience and how they understand their own experiences.
We will explore topics like precognitive dreams, clairvoyant experiences, poltergeists, near-death experiences, spontaneous after-death communication, ghosts & apparitions, and reincarnation experiences. From classifications of experiences to examinations of peer-reviewed research articles, this course provides a foundation for understanding psi in daily life.
Recommended prerequisites: Introduction to Parapsychology or experience or courses that include reading and evaluating scientific parapsychology articles from peer-reviewed journals.***
