A Symposium On Reality: How it eludes us, June 18th-21st 2026, Attard, Malta

Wonderstruck®, The Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School, and Five Books co-host a symposium contemplating the nature of reality across four interconnected thematic threads: consciousness and perception; mystery, anomalous experience, and the mystical; psyche, mortality, and transformation; and the emerging relationship between artificial intelligence, narrative, and the future of human civilization. Together, these conversations explore how reality is constructed, destabilized, interpreted, and transformed across inner experience, culture, technology, and consciousness itself.
