About this Event

What does rest really do for the brain? Why do so many of us feel we’re not getting enough? And how can we build more meaningful downtime into everyday life?

Claudia and Catherine unpack the findings from The Rest Test - the world’s largest study on rest - and share practical, evidence-based ways to boost wellbeing.

Open to everyone. Free but donations welcome.

Takes place at the Ann Owens Centre, Oak Lane, East Finchley N2 8LT. Any questions, email [email protected] or call 07502 989403
