How Invisible Energetic Fields Shape Our Lives

In this 2025 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Briskin and Gelinas reveal that we are immersed in a universe of invisible energy fields, like swimmers in a vast ocean. Often beyond awareness, these forces shape and are shaped by us. This dialogue explores the Personal, Social, and Noetic fields and how conscious awareness of them helps us create a more just and compassionate world.
