Beyond Darwin: A Promising New Theory of Evolution

What if everything you thought you knew about evolution—and your own biology—was incomplete? On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, cellular biologist Bruce Lipton arrives at Amsterdam's Meervaart to challenge the Darwinian narrative that has shaped science, medicine, and our understanding of human nature for over 150 years. In an intimate, conversational evening moderated by Dutch host Tim Douwsma, Lipton explores a radically different story: one where quantum physics, epigenetics, and the power of belief converge to reveal how your thoughts and consciousness directly shape your biology.

This is not a lecture. It's a rare opportunity to sit with pioneering research that bridges neuroscience and spirituality, to ask questions, and to discover why cooperation—not competition—may be the true engine of human evolution and sustainable civilization. If you've felt called to understand the deeper connection between mind, body, and the fabric of existence, this gathering speaks directly to that longing.

Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of Japan's Goi Peace Award, has dedicated decades to showing how our beliefs influence our health, our relationships, and our species' future. In Amsterdam, you'll encounter his work in the most generative setting possible: face-to-face dialogue rather than passive reception.

What to Expect

An intimate evening of inquiry and discovery. Bruce Lipton will present his vision of evolution beyond Darwin, grounded in cutting-edge science yet deeply spiritual in its implications. Tim Douwsma will guide a thoughtful dialogue, creating space for genuine exchange between Lipton and the audience. You'll leave with a expanded understanding of how consciousness shapes biology, renewed permission to see cooperation as humanity's evolutionary advantage, and practical insight into how your own beliefs influence your wellbeing and potential.

About the Artist

Bruce Lipton is a cellular biologist whose research has challenged the central dogma of genetics and molecular biology for decades. His work in epigenetics reveals that genes are not our destiny—that the environment and our beliefs actively regulate our biology. Recognized among the world's 100 most spiritually influential living people, Lipton brings scientific rigor to questions traditionally reserved for philosophy and spirituality, making him a bridge-builder between worlds.
