    The Institute of Transactional Philosophy's Institute Studies – Embracing Our Roles in Co-Creating Our Future

    Premium and VIP Tiers are included on January 13, 2025, for the 2025 Institute of Transactional Philosophy's "Institute Studies" for an afternoon of enlightening conversations.

    We're excited to announce that celebrated philosopher Dr Matt Segall, Ph. D., and quantum physicist Dr Ruth Kastner, Ph. D., will join us to present and discuss a transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics and how the laws of physics apply to human interaction and exchange!

    We hope you can join us for this distinctive inquiry that will:

    1. Provoke thoughtful dialogue surrounding the substance and application of transactional philosophy in physics.
    2. Prime you for an impactful conference in the following days!


    Agenda for January 13, 2025

    1:00 - 2:45 pm - From cellular collectives to human organizations

    Join Dr. Segall as we explore how new value can be created through coactive decision-making as we elevate our understanding of our own interests.

    2:45 - 3:00 pm  - Break

    3:00 - 4:45 pm - Introduction to Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Physics 

    Join Dr. Kastner to learn more about how transactions begin with the infinitesimally small aspects of our universe and the broad implications of fundamentally relation and process-based reality. 

    Participants will be invited to engage with both presenters in this dialogical inquiry.

    6:30 - 8:30 pm - Pennies, Particles and Philosophical Propositions

    A salon-style dinner to benefit The Institute of Transactional Philosophy. Registration is available here.
