Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science

An annual conference exploring the frontiers of consciousness,
spirituality, and scientific inquiry

Mystics and Scientists 2026 – The Coming Age of Enheartenment: Love as an Alchemy of Transformation

Come and join us online for inspiration and illumination with our like-minded community at our 2026 annual Mystics and Scientists Conference – for over 45 years these meetings have been dedicated to forging a creative understanding of the complementary roles of rational scientific and intuitive mystical approaches to reality. Our visionary theme this year is The Coming Age of Enheartenment – Love as an Alchemy of Transformation.

We have a remarkable line-up of international speakers to empower and inspire you on your path towards fulfilment, understanding and embodiment of the alchemical principle of love as the agent of personal and collective transformation. If we have co-created and manifested our current conditions, we also have the capacity to reorient ourselves and align with the evolutionary impulse of cooperation, mutual thriving, trust and integrity.

This conference will ask how can we best co-creatively reconfigure ourselves, our relationships and the many systems in which we are all embedded while upholding the spiritual essence of what it means to be human?

A Legacy of Exploration

Since 1978, our annual conferences have been at the forefront of consciousness studies,
bridging the gap between empirical research and direct spiritual experience.

Topics We Explore at this Year’s Conference

Each year, we develop the core theme of the conference further to unpack and illuminate it.
See our four sub-themes for 2026 below:

The Intelligence of the Heart

The heart as more than a pump: exploring its role as a centre of perception, communication, and coherence, and what science reveals about its quiet wisdom.

Love, Mind and Relationship

Psychology, neuroscience, and the lived experience of love: how we fall, bond, dream, and navigate the deepest human connections.

Sacred Traditions and Divine Love

Drawing on ancient mystical teachings from the Gnostics to Teresa of Ávila: to illuminate love as a path of spiritual awakening and ascension.

Love as a Cosmological Force

Zooming out: understanding love not only as a personal emotion but as a fundamental creative principle woven into the fabric of reality itself.
