Reverend Hardy interviews Candice Olson, Founder and Executive Director of Frontiers of Knowledge, a symposium focused on consciousness, held at the Wheeler Opera House during its inaugural year in 2025. On August 23, 2026, Candice is gathering an incredible line up of scientists, authors, philosophers and artists at the Wheeler once more to explore the questions: How might we think about life in this expanded universe? What does it mean to be human in the cosmos at this time? This curated event in Aspen invites participants to explore how consciousness developed through deep interaction with the natural world, consider changing perceptions of animal experience and ponder our newest intelligence, a human creation, that is now ours to direct and nurture. In order to create a truly transformative experience, there is a Speaker reception and dinner at the Paul JAS Center the evening of the 23rd for Patron Pass holders. A Day of Integration on August 24th at True Nature, which includes a special concert in the Kiva with Garth Stevenson, will round out the experience.
