MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The International Forum on Consciousness, Conscious Evolution: Awakening Through the Senses will be held May 18–19, 2017, in Madison, Wisconsin. A mix of presenters will both discuss and guide experiences using the five (or more) senses to provide insight on how this might impact our understanding of self, community, and our place on this planet.
