The Practice and Science of Nonduality
Nov. 6, 2012 - Posted in: Events - Comments Off
| November 11, 2012 | ||
| 1:30 pm | to | 5:30 pm |
A Workshop with Judith Blackstone and Zoran Josipovic
The process of realizing nonduality opens the body, heart and mind to the subtle, unified expanse of nondual awareness, transcending the duality of self and other.
Zoran will discuss the latest scientific research on nondual awareness and the brain. Judith will teach the Realization Process, an embodied approach to nondual awakening. This is a contemporary method rooted in the Asian nondual traditions.
This workshop is a chance to both deepen your realization and to learn how embodying the radical openness of nondual reality transforms your brain.
Fee – $80
