A Worldview for Global Change with Jude Currivan & Bernardo Kastrup

What if the patterns and very nature of the cosmos could guide better ways to do business?

Would the universe understood as consciousness inform a reinvention of the global economy, and our relationship to the planet?

Dr Jude Currivan, (PhD MSc CMA), is a cosmologist, planetary healer, futurist, and author. She has an MA in physics from Oxford , a PhD in archaeology , and senior business experience ranging from the UK Stoke exchange to international corporations like HMV and Scholl.

Her work in emerging science points to consciousness, information and meaning as primary to existence. Together with leading economists, she invites **a systemic transformation in global economy ** guided by observable patterns of the universe.

Most business is hampered by an outdated materialist view of reality. A mechanistic perspective that incentivises separation, extraction and short-term thinking. But what if a company is not merely a profit engine inside a dead universe, but an expression of a living, meaningful whole?

To understand our organisations as living systems that exist in a network of reciprocity guides us towards not just sustainability, but regeneration.

In this session, Jude will present the evidence for understanding reality as a “cosmic hologram” and explore its revolutionary implications for the economy, business, and our roles as citizens of the earth.

Bernardo, as director of Essentia Foundation, is leading the Western renaissance of metaphysical idealism in academia and science, the view that mind, spirit, or consciousness is the ultimate nature of reality.

Together, we’ll compare consciousness-based worldviews, and their implications for how we live our lives.

About Jude Currivan

Dr Jude Currivan PhD MSc CMA is a cosmologist, planetary healer, futurist, and author whose life’s work unites leading-edge science with universal wisdom traditions.

Holding a master’s degree in physics from Oxford and a doctorate in archaeology from Reading, she also trained as a Chartered Management Accountant and served on the Council of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants and the UK Stock Exchange Listing Committee.

Jude’s early career was in global commerce – she was Group Finance Director of international corporations HMV and Scholl, establishing operations in multiple continents. This experience gave her an intimate understanding of the world’s economic and financial systems, later informing her systemic approach to global transformation.

In the mid-1990s she turned to full-time research and planetary service, integrating her scientific background with her lifelong exploration of consciousness, ancient cosmologies, and the evolution of life. Her seminal works—The 8th Chakra, The 13th Step, HOPE – Healing Our People and Earth, The Cosmic Hologram, and The Story of Gaia – chart a profound arc from personal awakening to planetary evolution.

In them she proposes that the universe is a living, unified system of in-formation - where energy, matter, and consciousness are inseparable aspects of a cosmic whole.

Through her non-profit WholeWorld-View, Jude collaborates with scientists, business leaders, economists, and change agents to foster what she describes as a new “WholeWorld cosmology” – a worldview based on unity, coherence, and regenerative design. She is an active member of the Club of Rome and the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, contributing to global dialogues on reframing economics, rethinking finance, and cultivating planetary well-being.

**Bernardo Kastrup's ** work has been leading the modern renaissance of the philosophical position, ‘metaphysical idealism’ that reality is essentially mental, an appearance in ‘mind.’ Bernardo has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured on _Scientific American_, the _Institute of Art and Ideas_, the _Blog of the American Philosophical Association_ and _Big Think_, among others. Bernardo's most recent book is _The Idea of the World: A multi-disciplinary argument for the mental nature of reality_.
