MECHANICS OF TRANSFORMATION
A LECTURE ON NEURAL PLASTICITY & THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF CHANGE FROM PROTEIN TO PATHWAY
Your neural pathways are the networks of communication that make up the entirety of everything you've sensed, experienced, & behaved. Nothing gets through if not through the neural circuitry. The developing brain wires its circuitry until the age 25, but the brain remains labile to maintain its ability to adapt to a changing environment. Our experiences and behaviors continue to be the sculptor of our capacities through adulthood.
The mechanisms by which neural circuits materially rewire have a common denominator in the molecular components of long term potentiation, long term depression, habituation, sensitization, synaptic tagging, and synaptic pruning; processes which actually complete in our sleep. Understanding the molecular mechanics behind neural plasticity provides insight into how we can leverage our behaviors and experience to be the sculptors of our neural circuitry, and therefore our experience.

THIS COURSE IS FOR
+ Practitioners who work with clients towards cognitive, emotional, or behavioral shifts that would like a deep functional understanding of how these shifts occur at the level of the biological system
+ Anyone with a brain who wants to know how to leverage these mechanics for their own transformation
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
“I’ve been trying to create better habits and make certain changes in my life and i feel like learning about ways of leveraging the attention and the processes at the synapses and everything was so helpful in understanding and also giving myself grace in this time of trying to create change and allowing change to happen”
“I’m always so impressed by your eloquent intelligence & how beautifully you explain such complex mechanisms.”

I am a neuroscience researcher and educator, and my work focuses on the relationship between survival and consciousness: the nervous system as the instrument for our a conscious experience made manifest. I empericize poetics and aim to use neuroscience education for the embodiment of knowledge of the biological body for empowerment of the person in the biological body.
