SUMMARY:Stoa Nova: Prosochē or Not Prosochē? On Stoic Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:Do the Stoics engage in mindfulness? Is it similar to the practice from the Buddhist tradition? Is it useful? What is “mindfulness” anyway? \nJoin us and find out why the answers to these questions may make a difference in how you practice Stoicism. Or live your life. \nSuggested reading: https://www.patreon.com/posts/prosoche-or-not-30083645 \nFREE for members. $5 for non-members. \n\nHosted by philosopher Massimo Pigliucci\, Stoa Nova is inspired (with a bit of immodesty) to the ancient Greco-Roman schools of philosophy. Plato\, Aristotle\, Epicurus\, Epictetus and many others simply gave lectures about their favorite topics and engaged in Socratic discussions with people interested in what they had to say. In our case\, we will examine the theory and practice of Stoicism as a modern applied philosophy that aids us in navigating a world in some ways just as confusing and uncertain as that of ancient Athens and Rome.

SUMMARY:Yin-Yang\, Stress\, and the Western Mind
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Strand as Taoist practitioner\, Darryl Aiken-Afam\, explores with us some ways to loosen up our western conditioned minds to accept a more fluid\, dynamic and hopeful approach to navigating the waters of ​stress​ in our lives.\n\nIn this Olio we are going to explore the power of the ancient Chinese Taoist concepts of Yin\, Yang\, and the Five Elements as they relate to reducing ​stress. Speculated to have arisen in Nigeria\, Africa with the Yoruba people as “Ifa Divination” around 20\,000 BC and migrating over time to China\, the binary concepts of Yin and Yang form a foundation to understanding all types of relationships and interactions in the world. The philosophy of the Five Elements came along many years later and added nuance and depth to the understanding of the changes and interactions of life and how to successfully manage them in healthy\, supportive non-destructive ways. We are going to learn how to loosen up our western conditioned minds to accept a more fluid\, dynamic and hopeful approach to navigating the waters of ​stress​ in our lives. You will come away with new ideas that can potentially revolutionize your life in unimagined ways and last you a lifetime!

SUMMARY:Neuroscience and the Study of Intergenerational Trauma: How Does the Remote Past Get Under Our Skin?
DESCRIPTION:How do we “remember” things that did not happen to us? Neuroscience has made remarkable discoveries about ways in which our brains and bodies can be affected by traumatic experiences of our parents. We know that children born to survivors of cataclysmic events are themselves more susceptible to stress\, and at greater risk of mental illnesses like PTSD\, despite never having experienced the trauma themselves. Epigenetics\, the in-utero environment\, early experiences\, and the parent-child relationship all play a role. These discoveries have spurred a compelling field of research into intergenerational trauma\, revealing a complexity of biological and psychological interactions determining risk or resilience – but what does this new knowledge mean for survivors and their children? Scholars in the humanities and arts have long explored the lived experiences of those who feel they have inherited trauma from past generations. What can neuroscientists learn from these explorations\, and what can other disciplines take from advances in neuroscience? We hear from pioneering researchers\, clinicians\, and scholars as they make sense of how the remote past gets under the skin to affect the present. \nSpeakers:\nFrances Champagne\, PhD\, Professor of Psychology\, University of Texas at Austin\nGabriele M. Schwab\, PhD\, Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature\, University of California\, Irvine\nRachel Yehuda\, PhD\, Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience\, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai \n  \nDiscussant:\nMarianne Hirsch\, PhD\, William Peterfield Trent Professor of English and Comparative Literature\, Columbia University \n\nModerator:\nClare McCormack\, PhD\, Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience\, Columbia University \n  \nFree and open to the public\, but RSVP is required via Eventbrite. This event is part of the Seminars in Society and Neuroscience series.

DESCRIPTION:In Japan\, the practice of shinrin-yoku\, or “forest bathing” is hailed for its therapeutic effects. Proponents believe that by simply immersing ourselves in the atmosphere of a forest\, we can soak in the healing power of trees. In a fast-paced world\, forest bathing is a chance to be mindful of our surroundings\, and to connect with nature through our senses. \nAt this talk\, Dr. Yoshifumi Miyazaki\, former deputy director of Chiba University’s Center for Environment\, Health\, and Field Sciences and author of Shinrin Yoku: The Japanese Art of Forest Bathing\, examines the scientific evidence behind the concept of forest bathing and its potential to enhance wellness and happiness. Discover how you can connect with nature through this Japanese tradition\, wherever you live. \nIn Japanese with English interpretation. Followed by a book signing reception.

SUMMARY:The Social\, Cultural\, and Political Impact of the Mindfulness Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Recent decades have seen nothing short of a Mindfulness Revolution in Western Society. Meditative disciplines that originated in ancient Buddhist practice have come to have a strong influence in Western psychotherapy\, neuroscience\, art\, social justice\, and more. A serious meditator is even among the candidates for US President in 2020\, and we’re not even talking about Marianne Williamson! \nAnd yet\, what is the impact of all this? Is the Mindfulness Movement just “McMindfulness” as some wary critics have argued? Is it just a consumeristic fad? Or is there a deeper social transformation happening here? \nJoin Buddhist teachers David and Ethan Nichtern at Tibet House for a lively discussion of how far mindfulness has come in our society\, and how far it has yet to go.

SUMMARY:The Power of a Single Cell: The Deep History of Ourselves | Joseph Ledoux + Jeffrey Sachs
DESCRIPTION:Consciousness has given humans the power to transcend our physical limitations and exert an unprecedented influence on the world around us. Renowned neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux\, author of The Deep History of Ourselves: The Four-Billion-Year Story of How We Got Conscious Brains\, returns to the Rubin to argue that the key to understanding all human behavior lies in viewing evolution through the prism of our really earliest selves: the first living organisms. Even the earliest single cell organisms had to solve the same problems we and our cells have to solve today in order to survive and thrive. LeDoux invites Dr. Jeffrey Sachs to explore how the development of nervous systems powered human consciousness\, which made our greatest and most horrendous achievements as a species possible. \nA book signing for Professor LeDoux’s new book\, The Deep History of Ourselves\, takes place after the talk.

SUMMARY:The Platform of Joy - Sharon Salzberg\, Mark Epstein and Robert Thurman
DESCRIPTION:In a famous statement\, the Buddha said that he taught one thing and one thing only: suffering and the end of suffering. Although this sounds like two things\, he meant what he said. Within longing\, behind addiction\, beneath rage and under confusion lies a joy that is accessible to all. Uncovered during a period of self-investigation preceding his enlightenment\, this joy became the wellspring of the Buddha’s psychology and the foundation of what he called the Middle Path. In more recent times\, it has been rediscovered by some of the more thoughtful psychoanalytic practitioners of our own culture. \nThis evening’s gathering\, bringing together three Western Buddhist therapists and teachers\, will explore this platform of joy\, what makes it available and unavailable\, and how it can contribute to our psychological and spiritual health. Meditation will provide some relief from the discussion (or vice versa).

SUMMARY:Shinrin-Yoku: Forest Bathing in Central Park
DESCRIPTION:Join Cultured Forest for two hours of guided Forest Bathing in the North Woods of Central Park. Forest Bathing is based on a Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku that involves connecting with nature by “Bathing in the Forest Atmosphere”. Studies show time in nature lowers blood pressure\, boosts immunity and reduces stress. In this activity\, you will indulge with fellow nature lovers in relaxing mindfulness and self-care in a guided outdoor class. Plan to see some of the most natural settings of the park\, while learning activities that allow you to better connect with yourself and the outdoors. Leave feeling centered\, connected and more at peace. We are excited to end this session with a tea ceremony. Attendees must be 14 years or older. This will require about a mile of hiking with some stairs and walking up and down steep inclines and over rocks.
