The Psi Agora is an online space opened on the 5th of each month (11am ET) for members of the PA to gather for conversation around a selection of "table" topics. The objective is to replicate, in a virtual platform, some of the social dynamics that happen at conventions or other consciousness-related gatherings, which have helped to nourish innovation and develop international projects. Furthermore, it's an excellent opportunity to learn about what's being researched by your colleagues.
If you are a PA member and would like to host a table at the Psi Agora FILL THIS FORM |
The event is free for members, and hosted in Airmeet, check out this guide for participants. Airmeet works on most modern web browsers, but it is best experienced on a desktop or laptop using a Chrome web browser. If you are not a PA member yet, learn more about each category and the corresponding membership fees here.
Tables hold a maximum of 15 people per topic, so arrive early! Additional tables are also made available for general discussion. For this project to become a platform for innovation and discovery, your participation and feedback is needed, so don't hesitate to reach out to the PA Office.

Member testimonials:
"It's great to have an alternative to long webinars which are fine, but can be too one-way."
"I liked the ability to chat less formally with colleagues about psi topics."
"What I loved is meeting people interested in the same things I am, from all over the world."
