Consciousness: Non-duality of Science and Spirituality

Where neuroscience meets non-dual wisdom

What if consciousness isn’t simply something the brain creates, but the very ground of being itself?

This immersive workshop invites you to explore consciousness through the complementary lenses of modern neuroscience and the timeless spiritual philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. Rather than seeing science and spirituality as opposites, we’ll explore how they inform and enrich one another—revealing new ways to understand awareness, identity, and the nature of reality.

You’ll examine how the brain, vagus nerve, and body influence our experiences of fear, stress, and presence—and how these biological mechanisms can become portals to deeper insight when combined with contemplative practice. Through both guided discussion and direct awareness exercises, you’ll move beyond theory into lived experience.

This isn’t just a presentation—it’s a chance to shift your relationship with yourself, your mind, and the world.

In this workshop, you will:

• Gain a practical and accessible framework that bridges science and spiritual inquiry
• Explore how subjective experience, brain function, and non-dual awareness intersect
• Engage in experiential practices grounded in yogic and Vedantic traditions
• Leave with tools to cultivate clarity, resilience, and a more integrated sense of self

Whether you’re a scientist, a seeker, or simply curious, this offering is designed to engage your intellect while awakening your inner knowing. It’s an opportunity to step beyond dualistic thinking—and into a deeper, more unified way of experiencing life.

Perfect for those ready to ask meaningful questions and open to discovering answers in both the seen and unseen dimensions of existence.

Offered as 1 workshop (subject to change).
