The Bay Area Moreno Institute is offering an open session on June 16 in San Rafael with Sylvia Israel & John Olesen
In his book, Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm and Confidence, Psychologist and Buddhist Teacher Rick Hanson suggests that the taking-in of positive experiences changes brain structure, from an innate survival based negative bias to one of a sense of worth and realistically optimistic outlook.
Drawing from Hanson's model, we will use guided imagery and psychodrama to increase positive thinking, feeling and believing, discovering (or practicing) new tools to deal with life challenges and live with contentment, calm, and confidence. Join us for an evening of building new neural pathways in our brains! Everyone is welcome.
