<P>Tuesday, January 16th: 4pm - 7pm</P>
<P>Wed - Friday, 17th - 19th: 9am - 6pm</P>
<P>The workshop will be led and facilitated by Dr. Wallace "J" Nichols, author of the bestselling book <EM>Blue Mind</EM>, water visionary, boundary busting scientist, and leader of Blue Mind Life. Dr. Nichols will bring in many experts, researchers, and practitioners and guide participants on a wide range of field trips to help provide a stimulating and thought-provoking experience as we explore the human connection to both wild and domesticated waters.</P>
<H3><STRONG>Who will benefit from BME</STRONG>:</H3>
<P><EM>Blue Mind</EM> is Freakonomics meets "Your Brain on Water", and refers to the cumulative cognitive, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual benefits of healthy waterways and oceans. This essential body of work enhances conversations about conservation and restoration by exploring the relationship between the human mind and water. Blue Mind principles continue to have direct implications in the nine major WET HEARTS sectors we work with: </P>
<UL>
<LI>Water + food infrastructure</LI>
<LI>Environment + conservation</LI>
<LI>Technology + innovation</LI>
<LI>Health + wellness</LI>
<LI>Education + parenting</LI>
<LI>Arts, architecture + design </LI>
<LI>Real estate + planning </LI>
<LI>Travel + leisure </LI>
<LI>Sports + recreation</LI>
</UL>
<P>We'll examine each of these sectors through the Seven Ages of Water: Birth through Death. All water professionals and advanced/graduate students will find personal and professional value in this workshop.</P>
<H3>Venue:</H3>
<P>We are <EM>absolutely</EM> thrilled to be hosting the Blue Mind Experience at the beautiful Wave Street Studio, a modern, sustianably designed, state of the art venue located in the heart of Monterey. Within walking distance of the area's best hotels, restaurants, attractions, and watery interests there's simply no better place to hold our workshop.</P>

<H3><STRONG>Joining us via livestream</STRONG>:</H3>
<P>The Blue Mind Experience is timely and relevant, building upon a large body of work already put forth by Blue Mind Life, Dr. Nichols, and the greater Blue Mind network of researchers and practitioners. Because it is so important to share this information far and wide, a significant portion of the course will be recorded and livestreamed, resulting in the production of high quality video content to increase accessibility.</P>
<HR>
<H3>See you in Monterey!</H3>
<P>We look forward to spending the week with you and helping build your personal and professional Blue Mind toolbox on the Monterey Bay.</P>
