Modern brain science is beginning to shed light on the underlying neuropsychological basis of deep experiences of present moment awareness, integrated wholeness of mind, and the sense of interdependent connection with nature and physical reality. We can use these new findings in very practical ways to relax the contracted sense of self, and to rest increasingly in resilient well-being at the front edge of now.

In this experiential workshop we will explore:

• neural factors of steadying attention
• how to stimulate and strengthen neural networks that support present-moment awareness and a sense of integrated wholeness
• our egocentric and “allocentric” (oneness) neural networks, and how to shift in a more allocentric direction

No background in neuroscience is needed, though some familiarity with meditation will be helpful. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion. Continuing Education (CE) credit is available for professionals. This workshop at Spirit Rock’s Community Meditation Center.
