About the Event

The Peaceful Brain is a series of events focused on understanding how hate, racism, xenophobia and discrimination emerge in our brain and how we can overcome them. By combining art-making, community support, and neuroscience evidence, The Convergence Initiative will explore ways to tackle those emotions by creating positive experiences around diversity and difference.

We invite you to learn about stress and anxiety management from different spiritual perspectives by discussing hope in "Where Hope Shines." Then, let's explore unfamiliar communities together in "The Human Library." In our third event, we will celebrate nature as the glue that joins our communities in "When the leaves leave, we dance." Finally, we will have an open and honest conversation about skin colour in a fantastic workshop while we learn to paint different skin tones in "Skin."

The events are free and open to everyone. For more information, please The Convergence Initiative's website.

These events are organized and created by The Convergence Initiative. Funded by the Government of Canada through Canadian Heritage. Sponsored by the Canadian Association for Neuroscience and The Brain Repair and Integrative Neuroscience Program (BRaIN) Program at the Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). Supported by Brain Canada Foundation, Native-Immigrant Art Gallery and Concordia University's Centre for Creative Reuse
