Feminine Spirituality, Goddess Meditation
and the Brain
Audio Dialogue with Sally Kempton and Joan Borysenko

In this bonus session, Sally talks with author, scientist and teacher Joan Borysenko about what a real feminine spirituality looks like, and how meditation changes the brain. This vibrant conversation will touch on many aspects that are vital to your ongoing journey, and ends with a beautiful meditation led by Joan.

Her first faculty position was at the Tufts University College of Medicine in Boston. But after the death of her father from cancer, she became more interested in the person with the illness than in the disease itself, and returned to Harvard Medical School to complete a second postdoctoral fellowship, this time in the new field of behavioral medicine.
