Emotional Health and Well-Being Summit

Eskaton invites you to attend our Emotional Health and Well-Being Virtual Summit.

The month of December often brings the hustle and bustle associated with the holiday season as well as the stress of preparing for the year to come. This time of year can usher in a mix of complex feelings — excitement, joy, stress, worry, fear, hope or sadness. Join us for a virtual summit on how to navigate stress, embrace the transformational power of grief and cultivate inner resilience and happiness.

Norman Farb, PhD
Associate Professor at University of Toronto

Norman Farb studies the social neuroscience of the self and human emotion, with a focus on how biases in self-representation shape emotional reactions that determine well-being. Dr. Farb’s work draws from multiple levels of analysis, including first and third-person qualitative reports, behavioral task performance, physiological responses, and patterns of neural activity and connectivity derived through functional MRI. He is particularly interested in how cognitive training practices such as mindfulness meditation foster resilience against stress, reducing vulnerability to disorders such as depression.
