Mentalsomatic Gestation
An immersion to assist the development of
conscientiological scientists-researchers-writers

This course is aimed at individuals studying conscientiology who wish to publish their ideas and the results of their scientific endeavours.

A variety of strategies are utilized during this four-day immersive programme, amongst which is the employment of a panel of individuals, each specialist in a particular area, each presenting their knowledge whilst participants debate the ideas they have put forward, trying to implement them whilst the course continues.

The objective of this immersion is to help develop scientists-researchers-writers, by exposuring them to the shared experience of established researchers, writers and editors. These discussions aim at describing the typically unseen components of ‘science’ – the politics of science, the relationship between researchers and writers, and the process of entering the scientific community, while focusing on conscientiologists.

Themes related to the research process and the philosophy of science are also addressed, going straight to the points that are important to conscientiological research and investigative processes.

As a result, the core problems associated with the scientific study of consciousness will be addressed in a demystifying fashion, removing unnecessary concerns about research and its methodologies. Participants develop deep familiarity with the critical issues in science as a whole as well as the methodological and epistemological debates that characterize scientific knowledge today.

As the most important part of any research is the publication of results, great emphasis is placed on this subject. During the course, participants will discuss their ideas (old or new) for papers and come to a conclusion regarding those that are appropriate to develop into articles in the present moment. The course also addresses understanding and initiating the writing process. Journal of Conscientiology editor Nanci Trivellato and a group of reviewers from the Journal will follow the work of each participant, dedicating individual attention to their needs and offering personalized explanations and tips.

Each participant will be able to construct an article which can be submitted to any scientific periodical.

This immersion course was designed by Nanci Trivellato.
