Discussion and Reading Group
Meditation and the Brain
Monday Evenings - 16, 23, 30 November and 7 December
 Please join us for a reading group and discussion of meditation, and recent studies of its effects on the brain. What does neurobiology tell us happens to the brains of those with 10, 20, or 30 year of compassion and concentration practices? Please arrive between 6:45 and 7:00 pm. We will have a short meditation period beginning at 7:00 pm, followed by discussion. The discussion will be led by Wendy Roberts of the Bozeman Zen Group, and she looks forward to a lively input from the sangha!
Wendy Roberts is a long-time lay practitioner of Zen Buddhism who holds a Ph.D. in Biology. We will meet at our usual place (Bozeman Yoga Center). There is no registration, but for continuity of discussion it's always great if you can attend all four sessions. For more information contact Wendy at 582-9090 or email her at wroberts at well dot com.
