TALK ::: Mind, Brain & Me
21/06/2013 19:30 - 21:00
“Good news: you are not your brain” was the headline of a recent article by Deepak Chopra in The Huffington Post (http://www.Huffingtonpost.com/Deepak-chopra/mind-brain_b_1379446.html) Behind this headline lies a series of discoveries that present a huge challenge to predominant scientific theories about the nature of the self and the material world around us. Is the mind a product of the complexity of the brain's 100 billion neurons? Or as the recent discoveries suggest, does it express itself through the brain?
Neville Hodgkinson, former Science and Medical Correspondent of the Sunday Times and long-time meditator, has been following these developments closely. In this evening’s talk he will offer an overview of recent research into the brain, and how it functions, and the emergence of a new paradigm of science based on the primacy of consciousness.

WORKSHOP ::: The Art and Science of Not Thinking
22/06/2013 14:00 - 17:00
Scientists have shown that our thoughts and feelings change the brain as well as the body. Even more remarkably, when we think less, or become completely still internally, we can access information on a kind of natural internet that nourishes and revives us spiritually.
In this workshop, we will explore:
~ The evidence that although I have a brain, I am not my brain
~ How “not thinking” can be both creative and refreshing
~ How to develop this skill as an art of living
Join Neville Hodgkinson, former Science and Medical Correspondent of the Sunday Times and long-time Raja Yoga meditator, for this empowering workshop which draws on recent research into the brain and how it functions.

TALK ::: Letting Go of Expectations
05/07/2013 19:00 - 21:30Most of us expect our family, friends, colleagues, even the guy in the street to behave in a certain way. And we usually think these expectations are perfectly reasonable. What we don’t realise is that expectations keep us in a prison, waiting for others to release us by complying with our wishes. As long as I expect others to be any different from what they are I will always be disappointed, frustrated or upset. By letting go of this habit, I allow myself and others to be free. And, in the relaxing that follows the best often emerges naturally.
