Workshop

The nature of consciousness: Can we reconcile scientific and experiential perspectives

Consciousness Workshop

With Marjorie Hines Woollacott, PhD

April 21, 2017

9:30 am to 12:30 pm

Colorado Mountain College in Edwards

In this experiential workshop, Majorie Woollacott will lead participants in an in-depth exploration of the nature of consciousness from both the scientific perspective and that of direct experience, discussing how each contributes to a complete understanding of the topic. She will also lead participants in discussions regarding the processes that underlie both meditation and energy healing.

Participants will then explore together studies on near-death experiences, which validate the presence of clear awareness when there is no brain activity. In the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to explore in small groups their experiences as well as the implications of research for our understanding of consciousness.
