In her recent sermon on “The Inexhaustible Yes,” Rev. Kathleen McTigue encouraged us to grow our capacities for resilience and courage. This may feel like a tall order in these post-election days, but Dr. Lisa Miller, a professor in the clinical psychology program at Columbia University, provides one possible solution. Through her research, she has identified a vital yet often overlooked component to supporting such positive psychological traits as grit, resilience, optimism, tenacity, and creativity, and it all stems from cultivating what she calls an “awakened brain.” Join us and find out how an awakened brain could just help you survive (maybe even thrive) amidst these chaotic and challenging times.
