Mad in America

A revolution is occurring in all sectors of the health-care industry.

Backed by decades of research, Eastern modalities such as meditation and yoga that were once considered fringe and alternative have grown in popularity and credibility and have now entered the mainstream. With greater attention paid to specific techniques, a window into the corresponding contemplative science and traditional psychology that underpin them has revealed a timeless wisdom as relevant to us today as ever before and nearly lost to humanity in our post-industrial age.

Current neuroscience and health research are confirming and embracing what perennial philosophies and contemplative traditions have always known about a human being’s incredible capacity for self-healing, compassion and creativity.

This conference aims to showcase a variety of contemplative therapies originating from India, China and Tibet, reveal the ancient science that supports them, the novel manner in which they have been integrated and clinically applied, share powerful stories of recovery and flourishing, offer a critique of our modern, industrialized paradigm and envision the new frontier of wellbeing.
