Retreat for Scientists at IMS

I am very much looking forward to attending this retreat (just below), next week, at the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Barre, Massachusetts:

Scientists Retreat

January 8 - 15, 2008

Teachers: Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, Guy Armstrong & Susan O'Brien

Jointly sponsored by IMS and the Mind and Life Institute

This course has been organized by scientists, for scientists. Its goals are to help researchers in the mind sciences experience in-depth training in meditation and explore ways in which a rigorous and systematic approach to introspection can inform research. We consider this to be a rare opportunity to advance the scientific study of the human mind.
