2022 Show

Join us as we journey deep inside our most fascinating and mysterious organ: your brain. Our speaker talks and musical performance are inspired by how the mind shapes your perception of the world — and how the world can shape it back. Learn about the remarkable abilities of your conscious awareness — and what all of our minds have in common. This visually immersive exploration will open your mind to its own beauty and power.
