Description:
Spacious awareness, deep contentment, boundless love, and inner peace are valuable for everyday life, not just the heights of human potential. Recent neuroscience is revealing how to develop these wonderful ways of being in the human brain.

Join us for an experiential exploration of:

• How the body makes the mind
• Turning passing experiences into lasting inner strengths
• Neural factors of stable mindfulness
• Cultivating an unshakable core of resilient well-being
• Releasing rumination and self-centered thinking
• Feeling whole in the present moment
• The neural basis of the sense of oneness and timelessness

The deepest roots of the highest happiness are in the body. At the intersection of modern science and ancient wisdom – which could be called neurodharma – we can find very practical tools for an openhearted, joyful, and generous life.

All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
