Learn about your mind’s boundless potential at this virtual evening masterclass with award-winning neurobiologist Dr Rahul Jandial.
The complexity of our minds should not be a barrier to our understanding of them. Rather, by learning about our brain, mind and behaviour we can begin to develop a lifelong relationship with ourselves, which enables our resilience to strengthen and our confidence to grow. And when it comes to a life-changing event or a traumatic experience, these tools can prove invaluable.
In this evening workshop with award-winning neurosurgeon and neurobiologist Dr Rahul Jandial, you will discover how you can harness the potential and power of your brain to begin the first steps towards overcoming personal and collective trauma caused by the pandemic.
Through science and stories, as well as reflections on his own journey, Rahul will help you to see yourself in a new light – and harness the changes that are in your power. By showing you the design of our brains at anatomical and cellular levels, you will begin to understand the personalised approach you can take during challenging times to cope – and even to thrive.
In a post-pandemic world, mental health is not just a priority – but the priority.
