Willpower and Free Choice
August 26, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm PDT
Cost: $20About the Event
What does free will mean inside the brain? How much of what we do is predetermined? How does the idea of free will (both of having it and of not having it) impact us? What does it do to our brains?
Why do we so often experience being choiceless, and what are the different ways that we live through and with that? How can we choose the best of free will, and lean into the ways that our brains hold us in patterns for support?
In this 90-minute webinar with Sarah Peyton we will explore the relational neuroscience of free will and how to leverage this understanding to make our lives better.
