The Science and Practice of Human Flourishing

The Science and Practice of Human Flourishing

Jun 5, 2022 - 7:30PM to 9:00PM

Join us for a unique evening with one of the world’s foremost meditation teachers, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, and Dr. Richard J. Davidson, world-renowned neuroscientist and founder of the Center for Healthy Minds and its external, affiliated nonprofit Healthy Minds Innovations. Rinpoche has participated in the Center for Healthy Minds research since 2002. Among recent findings, the Center’s research suggests that meditation may reduce “brain age” and training in compassion practices may boost the brain’s resilience.

This event is sponsored by Tergar International, the meditation community of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, with the support of the Center for Healthy Minds University of Wisconsin–Madison. This presentation will be recorded and released to the Center for Healthy Minds community after the event. To receive this and
