Simons Foundation Presents: Harnessing Failure
2025-02-21 18:00 - 20:00
Getting things wrong is a key component of life. It’s no different in math and science. Failure can lead to incredible breakthroughs, whether a powerful life lesson or a new way of looking at our universe.
With decades of experience as an astrophysicist and now serving as president of the Simons Foundation, David Spergel has spent much of his career navigating the complexities of scientific discovery, where failures can be just as essential as discoveries.
In his recent book, “Productive Failure: Unlocking Deeper Learning Through the Science of Failing,” Manu Kapur asks readers to reconsider their experience with failing. He challenges them to instead approach failure not as a setback but as an integral part of the learning process and a crucial catalyst for growth.
Join us for a conversation between Spergel and Kapur as they dissect how we navigate failure on a personal and societal basis and how we can better prepare people for the inevitability of failure — and perhaps even find joy in it.
About the Speakers:
Kapur is the director of the Singapore-ETH Centre and a professor of learning sciences and higher education at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. With a strong technical background in engineering and statistics as well as doctoral training in the learning sciences, Manu brings a unique interdisciplinary skill set to the study of human learning, both in terms of the fundamental mechanisms of human learning as well as developing applications for translating these mechanisms for teaching and learning. Manu is widely known mainly for his work on learning from productive failure, is a sought-after keynote speaker, and has delivered two TEDx talks. His contributions extend across high-profile journals and conferences, influencing educational policies and practices internationally.
Spergel is an astrophysicist and philanthropic leader. Since July 2021, he has served as president of the Simons Foundation, leading the foundation in its mission to advance the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences. In his decades-long career, Spergel has helmed major astrophysics research projects and advocated for government investment in science. Before becoming Simons Foundation president, he chaired the astrophysics department at Princeton University and was the founding director of the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute. Spergel has been the primary mentor for more than 100 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Many of his mentees are now academic leaders. Spergel’s work has been recognized with a MacArthur Fellowship, the Shaw Prize, the Breakthrough Prize, and memberships in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.

————————————————————-————-
What is KATAKAMUNA?
Katakamuna is an ancient Japanese cosmology and philosophy believed to date back thousands of years. It consists of sacred symbols and phonetic sounds that convey deep spiritual and energetic meanings. The Katakamuna script, often depicted in spiral-like patterns, is said to hold vibrational power, influencing consciousness and the natural flow of energy.
It is used in various spiritual practices, including Reiki, to connect with higher wisdom, balance energy, and unlock subconscious insights. Some believe Katakamuna can help align individuals with the fundamental forces of nature and the universe.
What is REIKI?
The word “Reiki” has already existed in the late 19th century in Japan to describe Spiritual Life Force Energy that is applied for healing.
Man called Dr. Usui established a method to gather that life force energy after rigorous spiritual and buddhism studies and practices. He had a healing clinic and helped a number of people. Dr. Usui and his disciples established the Reiki treatment method over the years.
Now, more and more people are attuned to Reiki and experiencing it. Because Reiki is not like an organized Religion, it’s interpreted much more freely and adapted to global cultures, it does feel more flexible.
Similar healing methods have been in existence for ages all over the world wherever human cultures exist.
Many manuals mention that Reiki is Uni-versal but plenty of people who experience Reiki feel Multi- versal realities. The way that accesses your past and future, places, other-worldly visions and sensations in a moment shows us that Reiki is about limitless potential.

About Daria
Born in Kyoto, grew up in Yokohama, Japan.
I spent my youth days admiring modern art and daydreaming. Plenty of years have passed since I moved to the US.
I started to study Reiki when we all had chaotic experiences in the US, especially in NYC in 2001. When I joined a group session for the very first time, as soon as a Reiki practitioner started run the Reiki, I felt a jolt of electric current and vision of a spark flying out of my chest area. I became more curious to find what that’s all about and eventually got certified as a Reiki master/teacher in 2002. Over the years, I have added Kundalini Reiki, Green Tara Seichim, Silver Violet Flame, and Access Bars and other energy works to my practice.
When I’m not doing energy work, I like to cook, bake, ferment, forage, homebrew and balcony gardening. Check out my Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dariaarao/
