SUMMARY:Science and Wisdom LIVE - The Origins of Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nGeshe Tenzin Namdak and Annaka Harris in dialogue on the Nature of Consciousness\, Its Impact on Our Emotions\, and Its Influence on Our Well-Being \nScience & Wisdom Live is hosting a special dialogue in collaboration with our North American FPMT partners\, including Shantideva Center in New York\, Land of Medicine Buddha\, Ocean of Compassion and Vajrapani Institute in California\, Lama Yeshe House in Denver\, Colorado and Lama Yeshe Ling in Burlington\, Canada.

Is it a product of brain activity\, or a fundamental aspect of reality itself? In this thought-provoking evening\, author Annaka Harris—known for Conscious: A Brief Guide to the Fundamental Mystery of the Mind and her new release Lights On—joins Buddhist scholar Geshe Tenzin Namdak to unite scientific inquiry with contemplative wisdom. \nTogether they’ll explore how awareness shapes our emotions\, intelligence\, and sense of self. At the heart of their dialogue is a vital question: can a deeper understanding of consciousness help us manage disturbing emotions\, nurture well-being\, and open new pathways for human flourishing? \nThis event is offered exclusively online. \n\n6:00–7:30 pm London (GMT) / 1:00–2:30 pm New York (EST) / 10:00–11:30 am Los Angeles (PST) \n\nAbout the Speakers\n \nGeshe Tenzin Namdak first worked as an environmental researcher having graduated in hydrology from Van Hall Larenstein University\, The Netherlands.
