About
The Rhine Research Center in Durham, North Carolina is the successor to the Duke University parapsychology laboratory where J.B. Rhine built the science of parapsychology. It carries that work forward as an independent center: research, education and community programming on psychic experiences, bridging what it calls the gap between science and spirituality.
Its education arm, the Rhine Education Center, runs courses in parapsychology and related fields; its events program includes the Psychic Experiences Group, online meetings on dreams and remote viewing, and public lectures, with a fundraising culture that includes raffles with well-known mediums such as Laura Lynne Jackson. The center maintains the Parapsychology journal lineage and a research program on psi experiences.
The Rhine serves both the curious and the serious: membership, a mailing list, and community groups connect people to the field's longest-running research tradition, while its courses give students structured study. In a field where most institutions are new, the Rhine's direct descent from the founding laboratory makes it the historical heart of American parapsychology. The institution's stated mission: Bridging the gap between science and spirituality.
