Cassandra Vieten: Imagining Synchronicities, EP 244

Imagination powers humanity, our basic natural resource. Synchronicity encourages imagining how our minds, and brains are connected to each other and to our environments while also remaining separate. Separate and together. Imagine that!   

We would love to hear from you as well! If you have a coincidence story to share, please leave it in the comments below, and we will respond.    Connecting with Coincidence with Bernard Beitman, MD (CCBB) is now offered as both an audio podcast--anywhere that podcasts are available--and in video format on the Connecting with Coincidence YouTube channel.

Clarke Center for Human Imagination at the University of California, San Diego; She is also the Executive Director of the John W. Brick Mental Health Foundation, and a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, where she served as President from 2013-2019. Website: https://www.cassandravieten.com
