Wise Concentration: Improving Cognitive Performance – A 4-Part Series with Constantine Georgiou and Chris Kessler
Tuesdays in August: 8/4, 8/11, 8/18, 8/25
5:30 – 7:00 pm
Cognitive performance such as effective memory recall, sustained focus and distraction resistance is tightly connected to the skill of concentration. Yet most of us have never been trained on how to concentrate, even when we meditate.
Recent studies on the state of distraction in the world have shown that most humans are now distracted every 8 seconds, that is worse than a goldfish. Technology companies spend billions on hacking our attention yet we spend little time investing in developing concentration for our own benefit.
This program will introduce you to the knowledge, tools and practices in building stable concentration that will affect your ability for sustained focus, without partialising attention for longer periods of time. You will also be introduced to Biofeedback technology that can enhance concentration training post the workshops.
The added benefit of deep concentration is more access to equanimity, subtle bliss and presence on and off the cushion.
This is a 4-week program of 90 minutes per session:
• Week 1 - Introduction to a concentrated brain
• Week 2 - Training a stable mind
• Week 3 - Transcending distractions
• Week 4 - Equanimity in everyday life
All attendees will receive guided recordings of the practices for personal use.
$80 for all 4 weeks or drop in weekly for $25.
Tuesdays in August: 8/4, 8/11, 8/18, 8/25
5:30 – 7:00 pm
