From June 11th-15th, Marieke attended the ENCECON meeting organized by Mind & Life Europe. The theme of the meeting was exploring similarities and differences between meditation, trance, hypnosis and psychedelics. Marieke wrote a blog about the experience which you can find here. Overall the meeting was very interesting in that the participants were all very willing to collaboratively think about what mechanisms could be involved in all these different methods that have been used to manipulate states of consciousness.
