Iain McGilchrist: The Divided Brain

Join Maitreyabandhu and Jnanavaca in conversation with Iain McGilchrist, exploring the divided brain. Iain McGilchrist is a former Fellow of All Souls’ College, Oxford, where he taught literature, before training in medicine and working privately as a psychiatrist. He is committed to the idea that the mind and brain can be understood only by seeing them in the broadest possible context, that of the whole of our physical and spiritual existence, and of the wider human culture in which they arise – the culture which helps to mould, and in turn is moulded by, our minds and brains.  

We go deeper into the topic through discussing the interviews in our seminar, and integrating these topics into our lives with the meditation series. You can catch up with these below.
