What is consciousness, and how does it emerge from the brain? This lecture explores cutting-edge theories on the origins of consciousness, its relationship with material reality, and what modern neuroscience reveals about how our brains shape subjective experience. Dive into the fascinating science behind the thoughts, perceptions, and sensations that define our everyday awareness.

Daniel Rynerson specializes in Cognitive Science and Psychophysics Research, with extensive experience in EEG brain wave studies, behavioral research, and neuroanatomy. With over 15 years of experience in spiritual practices and alternative therapies—including certifications in Yogic Therapy, Polarity Therapy, and Neuro-muscular Reprogramming—he brings a uniquely holistic perspective to the study of consciousness.

Don’t miss this chance to learn and connect in a relaxed, engaging atmosphere.
