The Thorn Institute

Cosmic Consciousness Conference (10th annual)

8 – 10 November 2026 · Launceston, Tasmania. Australia's longest-running consciousness and spirituality conference. Three days of presentations, workshops and group practice, with the tenth-anniversary edition built around themes of emergence and higher consciousness.

Cosmic Consciousness is the longest-running consciousness and spirituality conference in Australia. The tenth-anniversary edition runs over three days in Launceston, structured around presentations, workshops and group practice rather than a pure lecture format.

The throughline this year is emergence and higher consciousness — broad enough to hold a fairly diverse lineup of contemplatives, researchers and practitioners. Worth attending if you want a read on the contemporary Australian scene around these questions.
