715-735pm Brainstorming with audience followed by mingling
The Salon will involve a panel discussion followed by a conversation with Jackie about the collaborative process with scientists - with special focus on a new project she has been thinking about. This conversation will look into the concept of the individual, the many levels of organisms and worlds that reside within us, the separation between inside and the outside and the interfaces between these worlds. The audience will be invited to brainstorm about ideas on altered perception, consciousness and exploring these cosmologies (inside us and outside).
