Where does consciousness come from, why are we here, and what really matters? 

Okay, an admittedly ambitious topic… let’s explore the nature of consciousness – its origin, where it may be going, its relation to our body/brain, and what we can do about all of that to build an enjoyable life that really matters. We’ll be looking at perspectives from both modern science and Eastern contemplative wisdom traditions. Online only, via Zoom.
