Brain Stuff, No Fluff.
Getting Under the Hood with
Applied Neuroscience!
Facilitated Personal Development Retreat.
Exquisite Location, Exceptional Food, Extraordinary Insights.
For every action, reaction and interaction, there is an internal scurry of information in your body and brain, as your brain works out the best strategy it can think of to fulfil its primary function.
For every emotion you experience, there's an orchestra hammering out harmonies or hell raisers.
For every habit you make or break, there is reliable, relatable science to help you understand and take control of all these processes.
Applied Neuroscience is a dynamic, evolving discipline, that combines knowledge from a number of fields, including neuroscience, psychology, and biology. Applied neuroscience takes dry and dusty data to make relatable tools that we can use in our daily lives to improve our choices when it comes to our actions, reactions and interactions. This can range from providing you with insights into your physical sensations, to concrete strategies to interrupt unhelpful patters, right through to learning how to deliberately 'state shift' from an unhelpful state, to a more helpful one.
If we haven't already met, my name is Deirdre Morrison. I'm an applied neuroscience practitioner, and accredited coach. I help people understand how their brains work, so that they can make meaningful, lasting improvements in their lives.
I'm inviting you to join me, for an exclusive small group intensive. We'll stay in a truly intriguing location, set in exquisite English countryside, to prime ourselves for a better learning experience (I'll explain why that's important while we're there!)
We'll learn more about how you can turn the mysteries of the brain into emotional mastery, go from 'best intentions' to best results, and take away tools and techniques that you can use every day, for the rest of your life to make better choices and enjoy more successful relationships.
We will get away from it all in an incredible historic building, set in its own 35 acre estate.
All our meals will be prepared by a chef, who will be creating meals designed to support our brain function and energy, so we get the most from our time together. (Plus, he may even give us the recipes ;) )
The whole experience is designed based on the fundamentals of applied neuroscience, supporting your natural neuroplasticity, so that what your brain will be primed to learn and absorb in this amazing setting.
This group is limited to 6 participants.
