The Noospheric Society: Initiation to the Noospheric Society
with Angelo Plessas

5th Eternal Internet Brotherhood in the jungle, Sri Lanka

The Noospheric Society is a communal place created by artist Angelo Plessas to rest in contemplation, an altar of digital detox, a therapy session, a place to explore our bodies and minds, a social environment surrounded by ideas and particles, and an attempt to float freely in space and time. Through sharing stories from people, places, and experiences, the gatherings are pragmatic responses to the expanded horizons of our over-communicated life. As a social environment, the Society provides a variety of opportunities to rest in contemplation and illuminate issues of spirituality, cultural heterogeneity, cosmic life, and open-air education. The Noospheric Society is preparation for the development of the Eternal Internet Brotherhood/Sisterhood.

Please bring a yoga mat with you for the session.
