Description

What are the principles of neurotheology?
Who better to answer than Andrew Newberg, acclaimed neuroscientist, professor and author.
In his books, Andrew has laid out pioneering research on the relationship of the brain and spirituality - revealing the inner complexities of how the brain operates when we are spiritual.
Whether that’s using brain imaging to study Franciscan nuns and Buddhist monks in prayer, or observing brain ‘resonance’ when two individuals apply his co-penned Compassionate Communication framework - he is fascinated with the role of spirituality in our lives.
Join us for an illuminating discussion - one that encourages an open mind for whatever the ‘truth’ may be!
