Drawing from Eastern wisdom and Western science, Peter Russell, with degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer

Drawing from Eastern wisdom and Western science, Peter Russell, with degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer science from Cambridge, applies a sharp, critical mind to self-awakening. He asserts that humanity's next great frontier is inner space – the development of the human mind – addressing profound questions about non-duality, consciousness, and reality.

Russell has authored ten books, including *The Global Brain Awakens* and *From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness*, synthesizing scientific rationale with intuitive wisdom.

The Nenets are nomadic reindeer herders in North-West Siberia, relying on their herds for food, clothes, transport, and shelter. They have migrated their ancestral lands for over a millennium. This region and its inhabitants now face severe threats from climate change, with rising temperatures accelerating the melting of Russia's ancient permafrost.

Siberia, stretching from the Arctic Ocean to Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China, is immense. Covering 13.1 million square kilometers, it comprises 77% of Russia's land area but is home to only 40 million people, 27% of the nation's population.
