Hope for the Holidays: Lunch and Learn

Hosted by Mitch Metzner, PhD, Chaplain, Amedisys

Learn how to care for your grief through gratitude while others are celebrating the holidays. Navigating the holidays can be stressful when we are bereaved. The joy and happiness of the season may also trigger feelings of loneliness and loss while others around us go on with their lives. Gratitude is a key for unlocking our suffering and mending a broken heart so that the pain of loss can be bearable and softened with hope.

Date: December 15
Time: 11am-1pm
Price: $0 Donations accepted

Join Diana for an introduction to Intermittent Fasting and set your intention for a 30-day personal research project. Participants will explore how their body responds to 1 of 5 different types of Intermittent Fasting models over a month-long period. We will discuss the many health benefits of this intentionally-timed eating practice, as well as easy, user-friendly ways to stay committed over the 30 days. This learning opportunity will include both education and support from Diana and fellow participants, with optional weekly meet-up groups to share progress, challenges, and observed shifts (dates TBD). ​

A biohackers' guide to mastering your nervous system and optimising your lifestyle.

9/30/2019

 
Picture
With Kasper van der Meulen
Wednesday October 23,2019

Time: 6pm - 8pm
Cost: $99

Click here to sign-up on our Calendar of Events page

A biohackers' guide to mastering your nervous system and optimising your lifestyle. 

In this workshop, Kasper van der Meulen will take you on a journey through your own physiology and teach you to gain deeper control over your nervous system. The modern world puts a constant strain on our mind and body and stress seems to be a constant threat. But is doesn’t have to be this way! With some simple tweaks in the way you understand your own body, mind and breath, stress can become a superpower. This is not about pushing through the pain or hacking yourself into oblivion, but about deeply understanding the workings of human nature and using it to re-learn self care in the deepest sense of the word. 

Kasper will demystify the latest scientific understandings of human biology as it relates to self-optimisation and state management. You will learn easy-to-implement breathing protocols, lifehacks and mental techniques to access states of flow, focus, productivity, rest, regeneration, sleep and joy. 

Kasper has a background as a science teacher and has transformed himself from being burned out, depressed, overweight and unhappy to living a lifestyle of personal freedom and optimal health. 
He wrote his amazon bestseller “MindLift - Mental Fitness for the Modern Mind” in just 30 days and and co-founded a human performance center called “Move Lift Act Breathe” where he tinkers with all things biohacking, breathing and human optimisation. His teaching style sparkles with engaging storytelling, “in-plain-English” scientific explanations and powerful techniques. Also be prepared for the “occasional" pun or dad joke.
