Many of us move through the day on autopilot: the same habits, the same thoughts, the same screens. Eric calls it "the Matrix."

In this talk, Eric looks at what the Matrix is, why it matters, and simple ways to step out of autopilot and live more consciously. We'll finish with a short guided meditation you can take home and practise every day.

Open to everyone, no experience needed. Free.

Eric also leads Zen Meditation every Thursday at 11:30 in the Zuzalu Library. Come to both!
