Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain & Body
January 11, 2018 through April 26, 2018
Over this eight-session course, we will discuss authors Daniel Goleman and Richard J. Davidson’s new book, Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain & Body. You will be completing a study guide prior to our discussions, the 2nd & 4th Thursdays, January – April; 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM.
Goleman and Davidson, both practitioners, write from the point of view of contemplative science as well as from their own experiences. They include a generous selection of anecdotes. The authors write that We aim to shift the conversation with a radical reinterpretation of what the actual benefits of meditation are – and are not – and what the true aim of practice has always been.
Sensei Al Genkai Kaszniak will be participating in our discussions, providing us with clarifications as needed, and likely too, sharing stories of his own experiences in a long career in neuro and contemplative science.
