24-27 Oct. 2005 Course of Science, Spirituality and Social Movement, at Bija Vidyapeeth, Dehradun, India
Science and technology have become the focus of intense social debates. Whether it is nuclear energy or GMO's, big dams or super highways, the threat posed to the planet and people's security by indiscriminate and careless technologies has become a core concern for social movements. Limits to human destructiveness can only be introduced from spiritual values that transcend the narrow-minded rush for wealth discrimination through violent technologies.

The dialogue will explore how a sustainable and compassionate science can be guided by spiritual values. The dialogue will also explore how new social movements are transcending the old divide between science and spirituality and are creating new forms of power and knowledge.
