Sarah Peyton’s Keynote: The Surprise of Self-Resonance
The Surprise of Self-Resonance: When Empathy and Understanding Turn Toward Inward
“I’m too selfish,” “Who do I think I am?”, “Walk a mile in the other’s shoes”
Many of us receive the repeated message that unless we put others first, we aren’t in integrity with being a good person. We are told that being compassionate is what’s most important, so when we are hurt or lose resources, we are always supposed to think about what the other person needs. This is what makes the airline message of putting on our own oxygen masks first so essentially confusing. But what if, just like oxygen, self-resonance is most important for us, first? How would this practice, this commitment, change the world we live in? Join Sarah Peyton for an exploration of the neuroscience and practice of self-resonance.

Jaya Manske’s Workshop: Embracing Your Oddness and What Makes You You
Embracing Your Oddness and What Makes You You: Loving and Celebrating Yourself as You Are
About this session
Have you often felt as if you are different from everyone else in the world? Like no one else quite understands you and like, if you really expressed who you truly were, there would be no place for you here? Or, perhaps you express, but underneath you question yourself constantly? This workshop will be an exploration of the relational neuroscience of belonging and an opportunity to explore how, when we are met with resonance and understanding, we move toward more ease in being our full “odd”, “different” and “strange” selves. Please join to take a step toward more delight in your own quirkiness, whatever that may be.
In this experiential workshop, we will begin to explore:
• The relational neuroscience of belonging and shame
• The often unnamed experience of alarmed aloneness and how left unacknowledged, it leaves us less ourselves
• The power of metaphor to bring a sense of connection and understanding
• How warm accompaniment and reflection has the power to change the very way you feel in your being

Mika Maniwa’s Workshop: Empathy for the Cells
Empathy for the Cells
About this session
How can we direct warm curiosity towards our bodies while we need empathy for coping with the effects of pain and dis-ease? What if we view our cells as community members, parts of living systems that have their own preoccupations and agendas, their own feelings and needs?
Our cells may want acknowledgement and gratitude for how hard they work, how long they’ve been committed to our health, how exhausted they are and how much they would love collaboration and choice.
Let’s see how our bodies respond to warmth and imagination.

Kristin Masters’ Workshop: Reaching for Impossible Dreams
Why & How: Reaching for Impossible Dreams
About this session
Impossible Dreams are inventive and satisfying as resonant language. Whether this is a new or practiced form, Kristin invites you to come expand your repertoire, and explore the Why (benefits) and the How (attuning). In introducing impossible dream guessing, I notice a wide range of willingness and facility in trying it out. In this session, Kristin will introduce a “fill in the blank” worksheet as a way to practice, a kind of mad lib to tickle your creativity. We’ll work on common situations together as a large group, but there will also be times to journal or work in triads to apply principles, make guesses and discover questions about this process.

2023 Resonance Summit Keynote Speakers
Kristin Neff, PhD.
Author of Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself, Co-Founder of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, Associate Professor, Educational Psychology Dept., University of Texas at Austin
Keynote Presentation
Fierce Self-compassion, Trauma and Resilience

James A. Coan, PhD.
Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia, Director of the Virginia Affective Neuroscience Laboratory, co-Director of the University of Virginia Engagements Curriculum, Principal of Brown Residential College.
Keynote Presentation
Why We Hold Hands: The Fundamentals of Social Baseline Theory
For this presentation, James A. Coan will teach you how social relationships regulate the brain’s response to perceived threats, why the brain regards social relationships as bioenergetic resources, and how close proximity to those resources economizes both cognitive and bodily effort diminishing subjective stress, improving health, and prolonging life. In short, he’ll teach you about Social Baseline Theory. Along the way, he will show you how the simple question “why do we hold hands?” leads us almost inevitably to deep insights into what kind of animal the human being is.

Clinical and Forensic Neuropsychology and Behavioral Neuroscience, Adjunct Prof. Lesley University Graduate School of Psychology, Consulting Neuropsychologist
Keynote Presentation
Empathy and the Prosocial Brain
While most neuroscience-oriented discussions of empathy are typically hyper-focused on functional imaging, but often, this is missing the forest for the trees. Although neural network correlates are important in understanding anything, that’s all they really are – neural network correlates and not a full understanding of a process or its evolutionary/adaptive context.
What’s missing from most conventional treatments and what Douglas Watt will focus on heavily during this special 2-hour event are the modulators of empathy, its cohorts in terms of other selected pro-social processes, and also its ‘opponent processes’ – discussions of the latter being pretty much absent from the empathy literature. This includes a focus on tribalism and psychopathy, which are conjoined in underappreciated ways. The common disconnect in empathy research between some kind of scientific or theoretical awareness of empathy disorders and the lack of attention they get relative to how much harm they may cause. And we may not have seen the worst on this point by any stretch, particularly as societies, including our own, become increasingly tribal and polarized.

Director of the UCLA Social Cognitive Neuroscience lab, Co-founder of Resonance Inc., Editor-in-chief of Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience
Keynote Presentation
Resonance: How to Find it in the Brain and in Real Life
We each see the world in different ways from one another because of how our brains use our past experiences to shape our understanding of current ones. With all the hidden complexity of our conscious minds, how can we ever know when we are resonating with another person such that they are experiencing things in similar ways? Dr. Lieberman’s talk will examine how both neuroscience and the Resonance model of our distinctive psychological lenses can answer this question and help people find more meaningful connections.
