Tutoring Mind-Body Science is a great source of enjoyment and satisfaction for me and I think it has been for most of the participants too. Each year some have returned to do it again, which might suggest I don't teach it very well, but I think indicates that it can be explored in greater depth each time.

It is based on the biogenic theory of mind devleoped by Humberto Maturana and others and on my research in this field over many years. I did my PhD long ago on brain hormones and then researched the effects of stress on health and happiness, mostly using animals. Later I studied biological aspects of human communication.

Although mind-body science is classified broadly as psychology it is quite different in many respects. It covers a much broader field including the basic biology of the mind and the ways in which human beings are special and unique; the part played by love in our evolution and our lives today; the way we use language; the interface between science and spirituality, etc.

Each session includes an experiential component so that what we learn in the course can be applied in the most practical way to improving our quality of life. Original songs are used to assist this process.
