There were up to 60 people in attendance and a number of other colleagues of Sohail spoke on Sarkar’s political theory (PROUT), neohumanist education, yoga and health, and social change.The second and larger conference was held at Tamkang University where Sohail is a professor. The theme of the conference was “From Survival to Thrival: Global Soul, Global Mind & Global Action.” He was a central organiser and chaired numerous sessions as well as discussing neohumanist futures. Dada Shambhushivananda spoke on the layers of mind and how the future is not part of a linear unfolding but exists in us now as a dimension of the superconscious mind. He also challenged the pervasive belief that well-being was a personal goal and reframed this concept within the social as a challenge to improve social conditions. Marcus spoke on critical spirituality as a central feature of any neohumanist future, stating that the conference themes of global soul, global mind and global action can best be activated when we adopt a critically spiritual stance that connects personal and social growth.
