October Biohacking Event: Meditation and Mindfulness

Biohackers! Ready for our October meetup?
Meeting new people who are equally health-minded? Oh yea!

Well come on over then. This month's topic is on MEDITATION and MINDFULNESS.
Have you ever tried meditation and just thought, that's not for me? That woo-woo nonsense is for the i-live-in-my-yoga-pants type of people? You don't have time for meditation? There's no science to backup that meditation is actually worthwhile?

Lucky for us, we have two experts who have dedicated their careers to this topic - Sara and Tara. Science meets practical application.

** Sara W. Lazar, PhD is an researcher at Mass General and a professor in psychology at Harvard Medical School. The focus of her research is to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of yoga and meditation, both in clinical settings and in healthy individuals. She has been practicing yoga and mindfulness meditation since 1994.
