The Science of Mantra: Sound, Memory & the Brain with Heather Luna

PURCHASE TICKETS HERE

This monthly workshop explores how sound-based meditation influences the brain, memory, and emotional wellbeing. Drawing on research from institutions including the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation and studies conducted at the University of California, we’ll examine how specific mantra practices have been shown to support cognitive function, improve memory, reduce stress, and enhance overall mental clarity. The session begins with a concise, accessible overview of the neuroscience behind sound and attention, followed by a guided 22-minute meditation designed to stimulate multiple regions of the brain simultaneously. This evidence-based practice has been associated with increased cerebral blood flow and improved mood regulation through the activation of key neurochemicals linked to wellbeing. Ideal for those seeking both depth and practical benefit, this experience offers a powerful tool for long-term cognitive vitality and emotional resilience. You’ll leave feeling clear, focused, and mentally refreshed.

Workshop will be held in the Tranquility Tipi or Wellness Center, depending on weather.
