The appointment of Dr Jude Currivan as a Non-Executive Director marks an important moment for Alef Trust. It reflects a strengthening of leadership while reinforcing the organisation’s commitment to approaches that bring together science, consciousness, and transformative education.
Dr Currivan’s background spans several fields. Trained as a cosmologist, her work explores fundamental questions about the nature of reality, while also engaging with philosophical and experiential perspectives. Over time, she has developed an approach that connects scientific understanding with lived experience, particularly through an emphasis on the interconnectedness of life. This perspective sits naturally alongside Alef Trust’s focus on inner development as part of wider social and ecological change.
Before turning her full attention to research and writing, Dr Currivan held senior roles in international business, an experience which brings a practical understanding of organisational structures and decision-making. In her role as Non-Executive Director, she contributes not only intellectual insight but also experience in governance and strategic development, supporting the organisation as it continues to grow.
Her connection with Alef Trust developed through shared networks and interests. Initial contact came through collaborations linked to her wider work, including her film A Radical Guide to Reality. Through these interactions, she engaged with members of the Alef Trust community and recognised a clear alignment in values. This connection gradually developed into a more sustained relationship, grounded in a shared interest in consciousness and human potential.
A key theme in Dr Currivan’s work is the idea of an interconnected universe. Drawing on developments in cosmology, quantum science and evidence across numerous fields of research, she points to a growing shift towards understanding reality as relational rather than separate. This challenges more reductionist views and opens the way for broader approaches to knowledge. Within an educational setting such as Alef Trust, this supports models that bring together scientific and experiential ways of knowing.
Her work also extends into global conversations on sustainability and systems change. As an associate member of the Club of Rome and part of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, she contributes to wider discussions on human development and collective wellbeing. These areas are increasingly reflected in Alef Trust’s programmes and priorities.
Since the late 1990s, much of Dr Currivan’s work has been focused on contributing to the collective good. This can be seen in initiatives such as WholeWorld-View, which she co-founded in 2017 to support a more integrated understanding of reality and encourage meaningful change, an emphasis on service which aligns closely with Alef Trust’s mission.
In her role as Non-Executive Director, Dr Currivan will help guide the organisation’s strategic direction while supporting its continued development. Her perspective adds depth to the board and supports a governance approach that values reflection, range of perspective, and long-term thinking.
This appointment reflects Alef Trust´s broader commitment to education as a transformative process – supporting awareness, responsibility, and connection in a complex and changing world.
