Theme/Description:
|
Does the world make you sick? If the distractions and distortions around you, the jarring colors and sounds, could shake up the healing chemistry of your mind, might your surroundings also have the power to heal you? Dr. Esther Sternberg, physician and author, explores these questions in her talk on Healing Spaces, a scientific look at the marvelously rich nexus of mind and body, perception and place. Dr. Sternberg will discuss how our place in nature is of critical importance both to the health of the environment, as well as to our own personal health. She will also describe ways in which hospitals, communities, and neighborhoods can be designed that promote healing and health for all.
Dr. Sternberg will be available to sign copies of her book, “Healing Spaces” following the talk. This event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
