An exciting and engaging journey from the wisdom of the human brain to the heart of compassion
Why learn about neuroscience?
Over the past ten years no other scientific field has shaped our understanding of how we think and act more than neuroscience. Our new course “Discovering the Wisdom of Neuroscience” will take you on a journey from head to heart.
You will learn how the brain functions and interacts with the environment through the senses and how these experiences shape our thoughts and actions. With a deeper understanding of neurological and emotional processes, we can begin to relate to ourselves and others with more compassion and discover more choices to live with intention and purpose.
“The course is very well organized and Ceci is a great teacher. To me it is crucial, especially in the secular context, that as facilitators we have a broad knowledge of the scientific part so that we can give accurate information and can integrate in an intelligent and functional way the 16 G and neuroscience. In my opinion, this is key so that participants receive it with an open mind and with the confidence that there is a solid foundation in all aspects of the method.”
How is the course delivered?
Together with facilitator Ceci Buzon we have developed a completely new course format which blends weekly online sessions on Zoom with additional weekly self-study components available on our online Study Zone. You should expect to spend about one hour on the additional reading per week.
What’s part of the course?
8 hours live training over four weeks plus four weekly self-study units to prepare for the live session.
Some of the topics covered in this course:
Anatomy of the human brain
Perception, the senses and emotions
Neuroplasticity
Types of memories
Executive functions and decision making
The social brain
The compassionate brain
