The most advanced scientific view has found that in the sub-atomic realm, there are no longer any things: there is only a dynamic flux of process and relationship. This was an astonishing discovery, but it was not new. Indigenous people for millennia have seen the cosmos as a place of kinship – a place of harmony and beauty. Come join us as we explore the beginnings of a new language – a language that is now emerging through dialogues with Native elders, quantum physicists and other Western scientists. Come join us as we explore the connections between the Quantum realm of Energy and the Indigenous Spirit realm. Come join us as we explore Quantum Entanglement and Beauty.

History of the Dialogues: In 1992, the late David Bohm, famed colleague of Einstein's, and Leroy Little Bear, JD, former Director of Native Studies at Harvard, brought together a meeting of the minds between quantum physicists, Native American scholars, and linguists to discuss the underlying principles of the Universe, ... more

Phillip H. Duran Tigua Physicist,
