Exploring Consciousness: From Science to Spirituality

**Tickets must be purchased via Eventbrite on this link**

What exactly is consciousness? Why do we have it? How can exploring it more deeply help us better understand ourselves and the world around us? Join us at Growth Lab LIVE as we examine a few critical questions with Óscar Soto Angona, M.D, Psychiatrist at Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Dèu, for a unique talk which explores some of these questions.

What is the one thing we can be absolutely certain of? That we are aware. Before we can doubt, question, or even think, we are conscious, and Descartes even proposed it to be the core feature of existence itself. This simple yet profound truth has puzzled philosophers, scientists, and mystics for centuries.

In this talk, we’ll dive into one of the deepest mysteries of human existence. Drawing from neuroscience, philosophy, Eastern spirituality, and psychedelic science, we’ll explore how different traditions and disciplines approach the question of consciousness. Along the way, we’ll reflect on how this understanding can shed light on the nature of suffering, and perhaps guide us toward a more connected and meaningful life.
