SUMMARY:Mindful Sex: Engaging Mind & Body for the Best Sex Ever
DESCRIPTION:This workshop pulls from mindfulness\, tantra\, neuroscience and polyvagal theory to take pleasure and connection to the next level.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nGreat sex engages both our minds and our bodies. \nHaving sex is both an emotional and physical experience\, so it makes sense to use the mind and the body as resources for pleasure and connection. Using methods of mindfulness and tantra practices\, and drawing on principals of neuroscience and polyvagal theory\, participants will learn to use the mind and body together—not focus on one over the other—to have their best sex ever. \n100% of ticket sales from this event will be donated to Planned Parenthood. \nAbout Dr. Holly Richmond \nDr. Holly Richmond is a Somatic Psychologist\, Certified Sex Therapist (CST)\, and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT). This unique combination of professional credentials enables her to focus on clients’ cognitive process as well as their somatic (body-based) health. Dr. Richmond is one of North America’s leading sex therapists\, serving women\, men\, couples and gender-diverse individuals for relationship and sexuality issues.

SUMMARY:The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Origin of Western Civilization
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture Series with with Dr. Adolfo D. Roitman \nMore than 70 years ago\, Bedouin shepherds discovered a series of jars containing scrolls in a cave in the West Bank. The unearthing of these ancient Jewish manuscripts\, now known as the Dead Sea Scrolls\, set forth a modern day adventure into the past. In the years since they have sparked enormous interest in researchers and the public alike. \nJoin Dr. Roitman as he leads you on the journey of the Dead Sea Scrolls\, from their discovery and excavations in Khirbet Qumran to their contributions to civilization. Drawing on his experience as curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls at Israel Museum–home to the eight most complete and well preserved manuscripts in the world–Dr. Roitman will clarify some key issues surrounding their discovery\, and present the current state of research on the scrolls themselves. \n\nDr. Adolfo D. Roitman has served as the head of the Shrine of the Book and the Lizbeth and George Krupp Curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Israel Museum for more than 25 years.

SUMMARY:Sarah Woolley: Singing in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:The young brain learning to communicate with hearing and voice builds auditory and vocal motor circuits that are functionally coupled to perceive and produce particular sounds. Sarah Woolley has helped decode how the brain interprets vocalizations — and what happens during development when those sounds are disrupted. Her research could shed important light on developmental disorders associated with speech and communication. In this conversation\, Dr. Woolley will discuss progress using songbirds to understand how early social experience tunes the auditory system for vocal communication. \nEvent Speaker:\nSarah Woolley\, PhD is Professor and former Chair in the Department of Psychology at Columbia University. She directs the Communication Neuroscience Laboratory in the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute and is a member of the Kavli Institute for Brain Science.

SUMMARY:The Enigma of Life: Confronting Marvels at the Edges of Science
DESCRIPTION:Einstein famously claimed that “the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.” This statement suggests that no amount of scientific explanation will suffice to make sense of the bizarre situation of the human mind within the universe. So what is the actual role of awe and wonder within the framework of contemporary science? How\, for instance\, do awe and wonder inform scientists’ understanding of the phenomena they are researching? What aspects of contemporary science are more likely to elicit wonder\, and why? Is science rechanneling our innate thirst for knowledge and understanding toward more concrete and palpable realities\, or is it aggravating the tension between truth and meaning by revealing the scope of our ignorance when it comes to probing the ultimate nature of reality? \nPhysicist Marcelo Gleiser\, experimental psychologist Tania Lombrozo\, and physician Gavin Francis analyze the impact of awe and wonder on their own work and on the mindsets of their colleagues carrying out cutting-edge scientific research.   \n*Reception to follow \nLivestream\nThis event also will be available via a free Livestream.

SUMMARY:The Science of Sleep and Dreams
DESCRIPTION:We spend about a third of our lives in altered states of consciousness\, commonly known as sleep. Despite spending so much of our time devoted to this activity (more than any other\, over a lifetime)\, we are just beginning to understand why we sleep and what is going on in the brain while we do so. In this talk\, we will review what sleep is\, why it is essential for memory\, decision making\, creativity\, and emotional health as well as how to improve sleep and thus live your best life in 2020. Also\, we will discuss the phenomenon of dreams\, what influences them and their role in psychological health from a scientific perspective.\n\n\n\n\n\nPascal Wallisch serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU. His research interests are at the intersection of Psychology and Neuroscience\, specifically Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience.

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:Jessica Valenti and Jaclyn Friedman: Believe Me
DESCRIPTION:Harvey Weinstein. Brett Kavanaugh. Jeffrey Epstein. Donald Trump. The most infamous abusers in modern American history are being outed as women speak up to publicly expose behavior that was previously only whispered about — and it’s both making an impact\, and sparking a backlash. From the leading\, agenda-setting feminist editors of Yes Means Yes\, Believe Me brings readers into the evolving landscape of the movement against sexual violence\, and outlines how trusting women is the critical foundation for future progress. \nIn Believe Me\, contributors ask and answer the crucial question: What would happen if we didn’t just believe women\, but acted as though they matter? If we take women’s experiences of online harassment seriously\, it will transform the internet. If we listen to and center survivors\, we could revolutionize our systems of justice. If we believe Black women when they talk about pain\, we will save countless lives. \nMoira Donegan is a writer and feminist living in New York. She is an opinion columnist at the Guardian and a former editor of n+1 and the New Republic. Her work has appeared in the New York Times\, the London Review of Books\, the Paris Review\, and elsewhere. \nJaclyn Friedman is a popular speaker and opinion writer and the host of “Unscrewed\,” named a Best Sex Podcast by both Marie Claire and Esquire. \nMatt Lubchansky is the associate editor of the Nib and a cartoonist and illustrator living in Queens.

SUMMARY:Lequeu\, Exceptional Draftsman?
DESCRIPTION:If it were not for his drawings at the Bibliothèque nationale de France\, Jean-Jacques Lequeu would be a simple footnote in the history of late eighteenth-century French architecture.  Lequeu’s drawings reflect the way architects of his generation tended to rely more heavily on graphic communication than on textual or theoretical means of expressing their ideas.  Lequeu established a specific and original dialogue between text and image that allowed him to question and distort the graphic language set by his colleagues. Join Basile C. Baudez\, Assistant Professor at Princeton University\, for a presentation contextualizing Lequeu’s production in the history of architectural draftsmanship and to uncover the reasons why he remains one of the most fascinating artists of his time. \nThe exhibition Jean-Jacques Lequeu: Visionary Architect. Drawings from the Bibliothèque nationale de France will be open at 5:30 PM for program attendees.

SUMMARY:The Hard Problem of Consciousness: Philosophical Discussion\, TED Circle
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, one of the toughest nuts to crack in both philosophy and science has been the so-called “hard problem of consciousness”: How is it possible for the hard-wiring of our brain to produce inner perception\, sentient experience\, and self-awareness? \nIt’s a much more difficult conundrum to solve than one might expect upon first glance. \nBecause science is inherently objective\, while consciousness is subjective\, it has been very difficult for experts working from both sides of the divide to bridge this gap – to explain the precise mechanisms of conscious experience. \nBefore arriving at this event\, take a peek at the following video: \n“How Do You Explain Consciousness?” – David Chalmers – https://youtu.be/uhRhtFFhNzQ \nA brief presentation will be given to start this event – summarizing some of the prevailing research and viewpoints on the Hard Problem of Consciousness. \nWe will then explore a number of interesting extensions of this topic together. \nPLEASE FEEL FREE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVE DISCUSSION\, OR SIMPLY COME TO LISTEN – based upon your own comfort level with this topic and its many facets. This is a highly complex subject\, and everyone is most welcome to join us at this event!
