With Dr. Helen Weng

Studies on the neuroscience of meditation in the U.S. have historically included meditators from the dominant culture. Over the past year, Dr. Helen Weng has collaborated with EBMC to engage in community dialogue so we can increase the diversity of meditators represented. This includes people of color, LGBTQI community, people with disabilities, and the fat community.

In this evening of dialogue, Dr. Weng will describe the current state of the field, and how her research brings in diverse meditators (including EBMC Sangha members). This includes groundbreaking neuroscientific methods that allow each meditator’s brain states to be individualized and community engagement.
