Tuning Your Instrument: the Buddha, the Brain and Bach
Join us for a weekend to explore the benefits of practice. Meditation teacher, psychotherapist, and author Sylvia Boorstein will guide participants in an essential integration of meditation with daily life. UC Davis neuroscientist Clifford Saron will explore how remarkably adaptable (and maladaptive) we are and the difficulties and possibilities of change. He also will provide insights from basic neuroscience and the research work he leads investigating the effects of meditation practice on attention and emotion.
