Open Meditation Studio

What happens when you bring together a leading psychologist, a close-up magician and two meditation instructors for an evening of intrigue and entertainment? "Magic and Mindfulness" is a one of a kind event exploring perception, illusion and featuring some incredible magic. The event brings together one of London's leading consciousness researchers, Dr. David Luke (Lecturer in Psychology at Greenwich University and former president of the Parapsychological Association), one of the city's best close-up magicians, Brendan Rodriguez (http://brendanrodrigues.com/) and Open Meditation (www.open-meditation.org). Along with Dr. Luke, we'll be giving some light-hearted and well-researched talks about illusion, perception, and consciousness, while Brendan performs his amazing tricks. We'll be discussing everything from how the pre-Socratic philosophers viewed magic and reality, how and why our perception can be tricked, and what this means for how we interact with ourselves and the world. This extraordinary evening costs just £20, which includes a glass of wine and some snacks, but you're free to bring your own refreshments too. We're really excited about this and thrilled to be able to bring these skilled people together - see you there!
