We are seeking participants to complete an online study on their extraordinary experiences, including peak, mystical, spiritual, cosmic, transcendent, or other experiences. At the end of the study participants may also choose to take part in an interview. I was wondering if it would be possible to forward this e-mail, put up a poster, or post a link to the survey website. We would appreciate it if you or anyone you know might have an extraordinary experience to share. I have attached a copy of the research poster, which directs participants to the survey website: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/extraordinaryexperiences Research poster: http://www.integralworld.net/pdf/RecruitmentPosterWithoutTearOff-A4.pdf Note: the survey is closed down at January 16th, 2013.
