topic: IS THE WORKPLACE BAD FOR YOUR BRAIN? Research on Stress, Creativity, Meditation, and the Brain

As you will see below, we have an impressive cast of speakers (including David Lynch) and expect to fill all the seats at a grand business luncheon. However, the seats are meant to be for your not-yet-meditating acquaintances --- professionals and business people, especially those who are at the head of companies, personnel directors, or who have enough authority in their company to put a program in place. The luncheon is for those who are interested in reducing stress and the damage done to our brains (and hearts) at our jobs. If you want to invite anyone that fits that description, you are welcome to come with them to the luncheon. If we do not fill the seats, another email will be sent out inviting everyone to fill the extra seats and come and enjoy! Please let us know if you want to attend and who you will bring. Feel free to cut and paste the speaker list below to send to anyone you would like to encourage to attend. Please call us at 212-779-9933 to make reservations. (please don't pass on the number- please call us yourselves.) We hope to enjoy this great event with you and hope it will stimulate the use of the TM program in the business community.
