📚 Lecture: "Psychiatrist Explains: Why Your Brain Craves the Sacred"

🎤 Speaker: Psychiatrist, Dr. Mena Mirhom

What do Buddhist monks, desert mystics, and your local therapist have in common? More than you might think! In this thought-provoking—and beer-friendly—talk, psychiatrist Dr. Mena Mirhom explores how ancient spiritual practices like meditation and silence are now being validated by modern neuroscience.

Join us as we delve into what faith traditions understood long before fMRI scans, examine why your frontal lobe thrives on stillness, and discover how our brains may be wired for transcendent experiences. Prepare to rethink the soul-mind connection—and maybe even your coping strategies.

Dr. Mena Mirhom, MD, FAPA, is a board-certified psychiatrist, author, and speaker who focuses on the intersection of spirituality and mental health. As an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University and a Forbes contributor, he bridges the gap between brain and soul, helping guide individuals toward healing and resilience.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to explore the wisdom of ancient practices through the lens of modern psychology!
