When Soul meets the Mind, June at Silicon Valley: The Intersection of Science and Spirituality – Neuroscience, Depression, and Spiritual Growth
🕙 Time: Saturday, June 15, 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
💻 Format: Zoom online live stream
It might be a surprise to many of us, that science and spirituality are actually not on completely divergent paths. For this Silicon Valley Mind Month series, we are honored to invite Dr. Miller, a renowned clinical psychologist and professor at Columbia University, to share her research and story spanning these two fields.
About Dr. Miller:
Dr. Miller, author of the bestsellers "The Spiritual Child" and "The Awakened Brain," will share how her groundbreaking research reveals the relationship between mental health and spirituality, through frontier research, as well as intimate personal experiences. This dialogue will traverse the boundaries of neuroscience, mental health, and spirituality, shedding light on a new explanation for depression and mental health challenges, and new possibilities for those who are going through this journey.

After 10 years as a strategic advisor for a Fortune 500 company and overseeing a $3B joint venture creation in Tokyo over 5 years, Marshal returned to Stanford Business School, where his first-hand observations of organizational and leadership dynamics catalyzed his interest in psychology, neuroscience and philosophy. He's the host of "Possibility Podcast", an exploration of ordinary people's journey through the "impossible".
