“A Bridge Between Worlds: Science, Spirituality, and the Search for Meaning,” New York City, April 3, 2025
Produced by Thirty Eight
How can we build bridges between different ways of knowing? Today, science and spirituality are often depicted as being in tension. Can we uncover deeper connections that bridge these domains—and, in doing so, find a way through these murky times?
Join us for an evening with scientists who are bridge-builders, helping us ask profound questions about our yearning for ultimate meaning, the nature of consciousness, and what lies beyond the limits of what we can measure:
Dr. Alan Lightman on scientific materialism and spirituality
Dr. Scarlet Soriano on spirituality in medicine
Dr. Neil Theise on complexity theory and Zen Buddhism
Dr. Katy Hinman on science education as a spiritual resource
Moderated by Dr. Robert Lawrence Kuhn, this conversation explores what happens when science makes space for the unknown and spirituality engages with reason—perhaps even glimpsing the transcendent.
