A Journey to Source
In September 2024, Adam, Bill and Yen joined a group of scientists from around the world on an exploratory trip to Greenland. There, we witnessed the source of the water that nurtures our planet. We marveled at the northern lights, which deepened our longing to seek the truth. Throughout the journey, the group engaged in profound and stimulating intellectual inquiries. This experience, which connected us to the very essence of the Earth, became a powerful source of inspiration. It also forged deep friendships among the founding members—bonds that now serve as both a solid foundation and a wellspring of inspiration for our exploration of the liminal space, where consciousness and love arise, where science meets spirituality, and where spirit finds resonance with the synapse of human understanding.
