An Evening in Conversation & Music with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor

Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke at 37, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness -- shut down one by one. An astonishing story. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist and is fascinated with the functions of the human brain. Her brother’s brain disorder and schizophrenia led Jill to dedicate her career to studying severe mental illnesses. She is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey. Dr. Taylor gave a presentation at the TED Conference, which has become the most viewed TED Talk to date, watched by over 10,000,000 persons. http://on.ted.com/8iBs She was chosen as one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World. Join us for a special evening of inspirational storytelling, spiritual conversations, and meaningful music. Jill will be joined by critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Carrie Newcomer "An event of uncommon depth"
