Fireside Chats Begin February 25th, 7:00pm

"Cultural Values - Cultural Wellness" With Stephan A. Schwartz

Stephan Schwartz

Humanity’s lack of understanding of, and value for, diversity is deadening our ability to regenerate vital social, ecological and spiritual systems. Fireside Chats are a forum on a “human scale” to engage around socially important issues central to NWLA’s mission of helping people develop the capacity to thrive in a global community.

Join us around the fireplace, in the intimate, relaxed surroundings of our large living room and engage with renowned international speakers, researchers, journalists and travelers. Refreshments will be served. Overnight accommodations available in our Guesthouse as needed.

Stephan A. Schwartz will lead the first Fireside Chat, "Cultural Values - Cultural Wellness", on February 25th. Schwartz is the Senior Samueli Fellow for Brain, Mind and Healing of the Samueli Institute, a Research Associate of the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory of the Laboratories for Fundamental Research, and a BIAL Fellow of the BIAL Foundation. He is a columnist for the journal Explore, editor of the daily web publication Schwartzreport.net, and writes regularly for The Huffington Post. Previously he was the founder and Research Director of the Mobius laboratory, Director of Research of the Rhine Research Center, Senior Fellow of The Philosophical Research Society, Special Assistant for Research and Analysis to the Chief of Naval Operations, and an editorial staff member of National Geographic. In addition to numerous magazine articles for Smithsonian, American History, The Washington Post, The New York Times, amongst others, he is the author of over 75 technical papers and reports, and four books: The Secret Vaults of Time, The Alexandria Project, Mind Rover, and Opening to the Infinite.
