MENASHA, Wis. (Feb. 13, 2023) – Dr. Lisa Miller, clinical psychologist and bestselling author, will speak on the science of spirituality on Thursday, March 23, 2023, from 9-10:30 a.m. via Zoom. The webinar is offered by Samaritan as its annual Creating Hope workshop for teachers, parents, scientists, leaders, healers, and other interested community members. The event will feature the findings in Dr. Miller’s latest book, The Awakened Brain, and her data-driven research around one of our culture’s most pervasive assumptions—that science and spirituality are at odds. Dr. Miller combines scientific study, clinical experience, and thoughtful reflection to help prove spirituality heals.
Dr. Miller is professor and founder of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute at Teachers College, Columbia University. A graduate of Yale and the University of Pennsylvania, she is a leading national expert on spirituality, health, and thriving in development.
The cost to attend the Creating Hope webinar is $50 which includes a copy of her latest book, “The Awakened Brain.” Participants can also earn .15 CEUs from UW-Oshkosh for $30. There is a free optional pre-event book club discussion at Samaritan on March 16 at noon in the Mary Beth Nienhaus Community Room at Samaritan, 1205 Province, Menasha.
