It's hard to believe that this is our 17th year of producing the Wise Brain Bulletin. The publication has evolved and morphed over the years but its goal and purpose remains the same - to offer skillful means for changing the brain to benefit the whole person and the world.
That's why, as a subscriber, you'll not want to miss our upcoming workshop with Dr. Rick Hanson in which you'll learn how to "get out of your head," feel your feelings, and avoid falling into the trap of overthinking or what psychologists call cognitive bypassing.
It's broadcasting live on July 8 and anyone who registers will have lifetime access to the recording after the fact.
By registering for this workshop, you'll be supporting the work of the Wellspring Institute, whose major activities include producing the Wise Brain Bulletin 6 times a year, sponsoring and developing a curated database of key scientific papers related to meditation and neuroscience, and hosting and maintaining the website, Your Skillful Means, an expanding resource of psychological, interpersonal, and spiritual methods.

By honing our listening skills, we have the opportunity to enrich our interpersonal relationships, minimize conflicts, and maximize peaceful, respectful interactions with those around us.
The Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of St. James, is a pilgrimage route in Europe that leads to the city of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. It is a significant religious pilgrimage for Christians, particularly Catholics, as it is believed to be the final resting place of the apostle Saint James.
All of us, at one time or another, experience stress or worry and can feel lonely or overwhelmed by it. This exercise offers a way to learn and practice an alternative stress management technique that involves a creative non-verbal
