Waking Up Your Spiritual Brain

Welcome back, Sunday, May 20, kicks off our Fall Podcast Class!

It goes without saying we will be excited to share our summer experiences. We will certainly do so at the beginning of our time together. And we have chosen a podcast that will provide light discussion. Our first podcast for this fall is an episode from “Hidden Brain,” titled “Waking Up Your Spiritual Brain.” We know that humans have essential needs such as food, safety and strong relationships. Psychologist Lisa Miller says our brains also crave something else: transcendence. She suggests that spirituality is a universal human capacity, and that feeling connected to something larger than ourselves may be essential to a fulfilling life. We explore what it means to feel closer to heaven, and the value of looking for transcendence in our busy, bustling lives.
