סדנה של יום בנושא מדע ודהרמה עם סטיבן פולדר
MUDA - the Israeli Center for Science, Mindfulness and Society, at the Unit of Applied Neuroscience, IDC Herzliya is happy to invite you to a second one-day workshop of Science and Dharma on:
Being in Sync with Others
The meeting will focus on the phenomenon of 'being in sync' with others. We will present the scientific model of the neurobiological basis of intersubjectivity, touching on the mirror neurons and the 'between two brains' research. We will talk about how the dharma values this and develops (through mindfulness) intimacy and a sense of a 'participatory universe' as a basis for acting in the world. There will be several practical exercises that explore how the interpersonal space can be narrowed or expanded. We will inquire together how the sense of resonating with and sensing others is a basis for ethics.
The day will include:
- Sessions of frontal learning by Yulia Golland and Stephen Fulder
- Experiential exercises by Lior Noy and Stephen Fulder
- Sessions of guided meditation
- Discussions and Dialogue
