Former monk Gaura Nitai Das invites you into a workshop that treats your own nervous system as the place where health begins. Drawing on fifteen years in monastic life and his own recovery from a near-death experience, he links ancient wisdom with current science, and he says he now lives medication-free.
The afternoon runs in the cinema's dark, with surround sound and immersive 4K visuals. Topics include how the stress response can be switched off, how thoughts and feelings send chemical signals to the cells, and how certain molecules such as oxytocin, anandamide and DMT affect wellbeing. Participants also take part in two guided meditations, and the recordings can be downloaded for free afterwards.
The workshop is aimed at people tired of treating symptoms alone, whether they live with a physical diagnosis, chronic stress, or a sense of living well below their potential. Seats are limited to 230.
