The Split Brain and Eco-restoration

Architect and teacher Christopher Haines has focused on sustainable design, environmental awareness, energy efficiency and green building, and has a background in agriculture and permaculture going back to Sir Albert Howard, Bill Mollison and others. From a college degree in psychology, he has developed an avid interest in brain science and the light it sheds on our thinking and behavior with respect to the natural world - our sole life-support system. Christopher will discuss split brain science as it impacts our work towards regenerating this damaged planet. In a fascinating presentation he will cover:

• The two hemispheres of the brain and what they do
• The relationship the hemispheres have with the natural world
• The split brain and the worlds we live in
• Asymmetries between the brain hemispheres
• Exiting the ‘Hall of Mirrors’
• Towards biodiversity

What promises to be a lively group discussion will ensue.

Potluck starts at 5, presentation at 6.

We're a small non-profit so a $10 donation is requested, but no one will be turned away based on ability to pay.

Helen Snively's house is about halfway between Central Square and Inman Square. Take the MBTA red line to Central Square, exit the station walking down Massachusetts Avenue in the direction of Harvard Square (away from Boston). Walk five blocks and make a right on Lee Street, then walk two blocks past Harvard Street and Broadway. Cross Broadway onto Fayette Street (which will be in front of you), walk down Fayette and make your first left onto Fayette Park (a private way). Helen's house is at One Fayette Park, immediately past the first driveway on the right. It's a green 4-family. Come up on the first porch and look for a no. 1 on the door. If you have questions please post to this Meetup, or call Helen at 617 547-1326.
