The Awakened Brain:
The New Science of Spirituality & Our Quest for an Inspired Life
Monday, May 5, & Tuesday, May 6
at First Lutheran Church (1000 Third Avenue SE in Cedar Rapids)
With the continued awareness that mental health can be supported through many different modalities, the work of Lisa Miller, PhD, has captured our attention. You are invited to learn from one of the nation’s leading neuroscience researchers about the impact that spirituality can have on our mental wellbeing. This year’s Spirituality in the 21st Century event will combine cutting-edge science with direct tools for application for people from all walks of life.
Dr. Lisa Miller is a professor of clinical psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. She is the founder and director of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program in spirituality and psychology. For more than a decade, she has held joint appointments in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical School. Dr. Miller has worked closely with the United States Army, assisting them in educating soldiers about the importance of spiritual fitness. Author of the New York Times best-selling book The Spiritual Child, Dr. Miller released a second evidence-based book based on her research in 2021 called The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life.
