Det er altså fra kl. 16 til 22 dansk tid, onsdag den 23/9. Selv glæder jeg mig mest til meditationsforskningens grand old man Richie Davidson og til det unge stjerneskud Ruben Laukkonen, som jeg har fulgt i nogle år på Substack og i diverse podcasts. Han har selv en meget avanceret praksis, og så har har forsket i spændende emner som “predictive coding” og det meditationsfænomen der kaldes “cessation”, som antages at være forbundet med opvågning.

Det er gratis at deltage, men man skal melde sig til online. Linket er her:
