  • Sunday, November 8, 2 – 3:30 pm – Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well-Being

    Can a pleasant view speed healing? In this lecture on Sunday, November 8 at 2 pm at Trinity Church here in the Back Bay, Dr. Esther Sternberg will present the science of mind-body connections and human perception as it relates to place. Using examples from her book, Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well-Being, to explain the neurobiology of the senses, she will explore how a theme park, concert hall, cathedral, labyrinth, or garden can trigger or reduce stress, induce anxiety or instill peace. Dr. Sternberg will provide clues to how and why we respond to our surroundings that could influence the places we create in the future. Fee $10 Arnold Arboretum members, $15 nonmembers .
