Description: The South Hills in Pittsburgh (SHIP) Community Group of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) is a forum for students of spirituality, "new" sciences, bodymindspirit practices, natural medicine, metaphysics, etc. The conversation-and-meditation group allows curious and like-minded individuals to discuss topics that might be raised if Albert Einstein and the Dalai Lama were having a casual conversation.

Our participants include those who are "just curious", beginning to seek out, study new concepts and long-time students/expert practitioners of various holistic practices. New participants are welcome and invited to bring a friend. Although centered in the South Hills, meetings are attended by people from all over western Pennsylvania (and sometimes beyond).

The SHIP-IONS group, founded by Nancy Mramor, is currently organized by Duke Kavinsky, SHIP-IONS Community Group Coordinator. Individual meetings are led by Duke Kavinsky and/or a selected guest facilitator.
