# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Soul of a Nation Symposium: Wisdom Perspectives on the USA at 250 - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 19 Sep, 2026 at 09:30 am – Sat, 19 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: The East West Psychology department at CIIS presents a one-day symposium contemplating the soul of the USA at 250About this EventAs the United States enters its 250th year as a nation, the country finds itself at a psychological, cultural, and planetary crossroads. At a time of political polarization, contested narratives, war, and intensifying ecological and social crises, the question of what constitutes the soul of the United States of America is urgent and needs to be explored from multiple directions.At this historic turn, The Soul of a Nation Symposium seeks to illuminate the dynamics shaping America’s evolving identity through wisdom traditions and perspectives. This symposium asks: What might the US become if we center wisdom traditions in our collective evolution? What might become possible, when we reflect on the nation not solely through political, social or economic frames, but through psychological and spiritual lenses, including imagination, compassion, interdependence, indigenous awareness, and the evolution of consciousness?This one-day symposium presented in collaboration with the Asian Contemplative and Transcultural Studies concentration features scholar-practitioners sharing multidimensional perspectives on what is striving to emerge in the psyche of the United States of America and how to participate in its emergence.This is an in-person symposium at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. Breakfast and dinner included with ticket.
