    Description

    “Who Am I?”, “What Do I Want?”, "How Do I Work?"

    Meditation is often presented as a relaxation technique. Yet this interpretation struggles to explain how sustained practice often leads practitioners to profound self-knowledge.

    Discover a view of meditation centring the ‘self’ as an object of scientific enquiry, empowering us to systematically learn ourselves through application of the scientific method.

     

    45 minutes of lecture, followed by a small-group discussion, and a Q&A.

    Held in person, at CERN Prévessin, B.774/R-013.
