Four Essential B's: How Beliefs Affect Our Bodies, Brains, and Bonds

Four Essential B's: How Beliefs Affect Our Bodies, Brains, and Bonds
Friday, July 21 (5 pm) - Sunday, July 23 (11 am), at Shalom Spirituality Center
Facilitated by Anne Kertz Kernion

Facilitated by Anne Kertz Kernion, this retreat explores several areas of the intersection of spiritual practices and our health and well-being using multi-media presentations and several forms of silent prayer and meditation. First, how do our beliefs and practices affect our bodies, down to the cellular level? And second, how do our attitudes and beliefs, prayers, and participation in rituals affect our cognitive health and relationships with others? Anne frequently leads retreats combining the insights of neuroscience, positive psychology, and spirituality. Her academic background in these three areas allows her to demonstrate that each one recommends similar practices for boosting our overall well-being.
