Hardwiring Happiness

We used to think that the brain was static, fixed, that it could not change. But revolutionary findings in neuroscience have demonstrated that we can literally re-architect the very structure of our brain. In fact, we can even rewire our brain to be happier — but it’s not through changing our external world; it’s through changing our internal landscape. 

In this workshop, Dr. Shauna Shapiro — a leading scientist studying the effects of meditation on well-being — will teach you the most powerful science-based practices for increasing the neural pathways of happiness. She explains basic brain science and offers a powerful roadmap for how to live a joyful, connected, and meaningful life. Be prepared for unexpected transformation and delight. 

• Learn science-based practices to increase your baseline level of happiness.
• Learn to cultivate greater joy, gratitude, and connection.
• Learn how to integrate these practices in your everyday life.
