If you value both spiritual experience and critical thought, you may be looking for a way to explore those states without setting science and spirituality against each other.\n \n\n Dawson Church, PhD, brings those worlds into conversation through an exploration of biophotons, the ultraweak light produced by living cells, and the question of whether the radiance long associated with mystics might have a biological dimension worth investigating.\n \n\n You’ll also be introduced to EcoMeditation, Dawson’s approach combining practices such as EFT tapping, heart coherence, breath, vagus nerve activation, and meditation to help quiet mental distraction and make deeper meditative states more accessible.\n \n\n During a guided practice, Dawson will invite you to move beyond everyday mental chatter and connect with a guiding archetype — a teacher, master, animal, or other figure that resonates with you — while exploring inner wisdom, light, coherence, and expanded states of consciousness.\n \n\n Register Here For Free\n\n Registration is free, and event access details and reminders will be sent after you reserve your spot.\n \n\n\n\n\n Explore This Free Event\n \n\n Jump directly to the section that interests you.\n \n\n\n \n →\n Why Attend\n \n \n\n \n →\n What You’ll Learn\n \n \n\n \n →\n Who Should Attend\n \n \n\n \n →\n About Dawson Church, PhD\n \n \n\n \n →\n Endorsements\n \n \n\n \n →\n Frequently Asked Questions\n \n \n\n \n Register Here For Free\n →\n \n \n\n\n Where Science Meets Inner Experience\n \n\n Why Attend “The Science of Biophotons: Radiating Your Inner Light”\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n Spiritual traditions have described saints, mystics, and awakened beings as radiant for centuries, while modern research has shown that living cells emit extremely faint light. Bringing those ideas together raises intriguing questions about the relationship between biology, consciousness, meditation, and the experiences people describe as inner light.\n \n\n Dawson Church approaches these questions through both scientific inquiry and direct contemplative practice. As the founder of the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare and an author whose work examines the relationship between mind, energy, biology, and human experience, he offers a framework for exploring unusual states of consciousness without asking you to abandon discernment.\n \n\n The session is also experiential rather than purely theoretical. By combining a discussion of biophotons and biological coherence with EcoMeditation, Dawson gives you an opportunity to explore these ideas through your own meditation practice while considering how greater peace, awareness, and connection might be brought back into everyday life.\n \n\n Register Here For Free\n \n\n\n\n Science + Guided Meditation\n \nWhat You’ll Learn\n\n We’ll begin with the phenomenon of biophotons, so you can explore why the measurable light produced by living cells has become part of Dawson’s inquiry into human radiance. You’ll consider how he connects this emerging area of science with the halos and luminous imagery associated with mystics across spiritual traditions.\n \n\n From there, you’ll explore EcoMeditation and the practices Dawson brings together to reduce mental distraction, which means the scientific discussion is paired with an opportunity for direct experience. Breath, gentle EFT tapping, heart coherence, vagus nerve activation, grounding, and meditation all play a role in his approach.\n \n\n Along the way, Dawson will introduce ideas including Fröhlich coherence, the double-slit experiment, and the observer effect, and then relate them to broader questions about energy, light, observation, and consciousness. You’ll also be guided toward a quieter state in which you can connect with a personally meaningful guiding archetype, so the event moves from intellectual exploration into contemplative practice.\n \n\n Here’s just a little bit of what you’ll learn:\n \n\nWhat biophotons are and why the light emitted by living cells is relevant to Dawson’s exploration of human radiance\nHow EcoMeditation combines breath, EFT tapping, heart coherence, grounding, vagus nerve activation, and meditation\nWhy Dawson sees mental distraction as one of the major obstacles to entering deeper meditative states\nHow a guided EcoMeditation practice can support the transition from everyday mental chatter into a quieter, more receptive state\nWhat a guiding archetype can represent as a teacher, master, animal, or figure that holds personal meaning for you\nHow Dawson uses Fröhlich coherence to explore the possibility of organized energetic patterns in biological systems\nWhy the double-slit experiment and observer effect enter his discussion of light, observation, and consciousness\nHow scientific curiosity and spiritual experience can be explored together without giving up critical thought\nWays to bring the love, wisdom, connection, and expanded awareness explored in meditation back into ordinary life\n\n\n Register Here For Free\n \n\n\n\n For Curious Spiritual Explorers\n \nWho This Is For\n\n This event may be especially meaningful if you’ve experienced moments of deep peace, light, oneness, connection, or an unseen presence and wondered how to make sense of them without setting aside science or critical thinking. It also speaks to people who are curious about meditation, consciousness, subtle energy, and the possible biological dimensions of experiences traditionally described in spiritual language.\n \n\n Because Dawson introduces EcoMeditation and guides you through a practice during the event, you can follow the process even if the method itself is new to you. The discussion may also interest experienced meditators, energy psychology practitioners, coaches, healers, and others who want to understand how Dawson brings scientific research and contemplative experience into the same conversation.\n \n\nSpiritual seekers interested in the relationship between science and mystical experience\nPeople curious about biophotons, human radiance, and biological coherence\nAnyone who finds an active or distracted mind makes meditation difficult\nThose interested in exploring expanded states of consciousness through meditation\nPeople drawn to EFT tapping, heart coherence, breathwork, or energy psychology\nExperienced meditators curious about Dawson’s EcoMeditation approach\nPractitioners interested in consciousness, subtle energy, and mind-body research\nThose who want to explore spiritual experience while maintaining discernment and critical thought\n\n\n Register Here For Free\n \n\n\n\n Meet Your Teacher\n \nAbout Dawson Church, PhD\n\n Dawson Church, PhD, is the award-winning author of Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Creativity, Resilience, and Joy, Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality, and The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention.\n \n\n His research has been published in scientific journals, and he founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare to study and implement promising evidence-based psychological and medical techniques.

Dawson uses this phenomenon as a starting point for exploring questions about human radiance and whether experiences described in spiritual traditions may have biological dimensions worth investigating.\n \n\n\nWhat is EcoMeditation?\n\n EcoMeditation is Dawson’s approach to meditation that brings together practices including EFT tapping, heart coherence, vagus nerve activation, breath, grounding, and meditation. He uses the combination to help reduce mental distraction and make deeper meditative states more accessible.\n \n\n\nWhat happens during the guided EcoMeditation practice?\n\n Dawson will guide you through practices including breath, gentle EFT tapping, and grounding as you move toward a quieter, more receptive state. From there, you will be invited to connect with a guiding archetype that feels personally meaningful to you.\n \n\n\nWhat is a guiding archetype?\n\n In this event, a guiding archetype may take the form of a teacher, master, animal, or other figure that deeply resonates with you. Dawson’s meditation invites you to connect with that figure as a symbolic source of inner wisdom, guidance, and light.\n \n\n\nHow does Fröhlich coherence fit into the event?\n\n Fröhlich coherence is introduced as a scientific theory concerning the organization of energy in biological systems. Dawson will explore how this idea relates to his broader inquiry into coherent biological patterns, energy, light, and human radiance.\n \n\n\nWhy does Dawson discuss the double-slit experiment and observer effect?\n\n Dawson uses the double-slit experiment and observer effect as part of a discussion about light, observation, and consciousness. The event explores how he connects those ideas with broader questions about human experience and the relationship between consciousness and material reality.\n \n\n\nHow does the event connect science and spiritual experience?\n\n Dawson places scientific topics such as biophotons and biological coherence alongside meditation and accounts of inner radiance, expanded awareness, and mystical experience. The aim is to explore these areas together while leaving room for inquiry, discernment, and direct contemplative experience.\n \n\n\nHow can the practice relate to everyday life?\n\n Dawson emphasizes returning from meditation to ordinary life rather than using expanded states as an escape from it. The practice invites you to bring qualities such as centeredness, connection, love, wisdom, and awareness into the way you live each day.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n Health Disclosure\n \n\n The contents of this website/e-mail are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
