. As social isolation becomes a new reality for many around the world, there is a rare opportunity to deepen our experience of human psychic potential – both in applied practice of psychic modalities and in the study of current and historical research trends. By accessing our super natural potentials, to use a term coined by Rice University religious studies scholar Dr. Jeffrey Kripal, we have a much better chance at overcoming the trials that lie ahead. For your convenience, we’ve gathered a short list of links to online learning material presented by some of the leading organizations involved in parapsychological and psychical research. Rather than ‘Netflix and Chill,’ perhaps consider allotting a bit of time in your week for engaging with some of these resources. Dealing, as they do with the intimate connection between inner and outer space and experience they can provide a helpful starting point in developing more holistic understandings of what it means to be ‘human’ in our collective age. The majority of resources included in our list are provided free of charge by their host organizations – as you enjoy them, if you are able, please think of sending a small donation to the sponsoring orgs. Funding for this research is a concern at the best of times, and our support helps ensure the continuation of organized research in these areas during the current economic turbulence. We will be setting up a permanent link to this collection on the right hand margin of the blog – so if you notice that we are missing a key organization, please drop us a note in the comments and we will look into adding it to the list. Note: For this particular supplemental guide we have focused mainly on video and audio related content, along with webinars and online courses – most of the organizations featured in this list also offer text based and archival resources for more in depth reading and study. . “…screen culture has replaced the sacred books of the past as the new medium of the divine.” – Dr. Diana Pasulka, The Power of None (Tank Magazine, 2020) .

The Rhine Research Center

The Rhine Research Center explores the frontiers of consciousness and exceptional human experiences in the context of unusual and unexplained phenomena. The Rhine’s mission is to advance the science of parapsychology, to provide education and resources for the public, and to foster a community for individuals with personal and professional interest in PSI.

The Rhine Video Library is a unique resource that contains over 100 videos of speakers who have come to the Rhine to talk about parapsychology, scientific research, psi experiences, anthropology, history, and many other topics!

“We are all looking for answers. The Rhine has opened our Video Library (normally only available to Rhine members) to help you to find hope and learn more about the connections between all of us.” – John G. Kruth, Executive Director of the Rhine Research Center and Founder of the Rhine Education Center

The Windbridge Institute

Founded in 2008 by husband and wife research team, Mark Boccuzzi and Julie Beischel, PhD, The Windbridge Institute, LLC, is dedicated to conducting world-class research on phenomena currently unexplained within traditional scientific frameworks.

Research suggests that people who meditate regularly score higher on psi (a.k.a. “psychic”) tests than those who don’t meditate. To help explore this idea, the Windbridge Institute has been developing software and hardware tools that 1) help promote meditative and mindfulness practices and 2) help test changes in intuitive ability over time.

The Windbridge Research Center

The mission of the Windbridge Research Center is to ease suffering around dying, death, and what comes next by performing rigorous scientific research and sharing the results and other customized content with the general public, clinicians (like medical and mental health professionals), scientists (like researchers and philosophers), and practitioners (like mediums).

Windbridge has a great collection of videos related to their research and additional externally produced videos on similar topics of interest.

The Parapsychology Foundation



The Parapsychology Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation which provides a worldwide forum supporting the scientific investigation of psychic phenomena. Since its incorporation in 1951, the Parapsychology Foundation has remained committed to two goals: To support scientific and academic research into psychic phenomena; and to provide professional resources and information to the academic and lay communities.

The PF’s YouTube channel features a wide range of content featuring leading scientists and researchers exploring a wide range of topics related to psi functioning:

ParaMOOC

The ParaMOOC Series features archived videos from the Parapsychology: Research and Education course offered by The Alvarado Zingrone Institute of Research and Education (The AZIRE), a Parapsychology Foundation member organization.

The course series is dedicated to bringing to the public lectures by researchers, theorists, and scholars who focus on some aspect of the scientific study of psychic phenomena and related topics.

The Society for Psychical Research

The Society for Psychical Research was set up in London in 1882, the first scientific organisation ever to examine claims of psychic and paranormal phenomena. We hold no corporate view about their existence or meaning; rather, our purpose is to gather information and foster understanding through research and education.

In 2014, work started on the Psi Encyclopedia, a free-access online encyclopedia of psychical research. The resource currently includes over a hundred articles – new items are being added. It’s intended that the core areas of the Society’s research will have been comprehensively covered by 2020.

The SPR’s YouTube channel features a number of conference presentations from leading researchers in the field:

The Society for Scientific Exploration

Since 1982, the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has provided a critical forum for sharing original research into conventional and unconventional topics. Subjects often cross mainstream boundaries, yet may have profound implications for human knowledge and technology. We publish a peer-reviewed journal, the popular EdgeScience magazine, host conferences, and connect scholars.

The SSE has uploaded videos of hundreds of original research talks from SSE conferences:
