“Conversations on Attachment: Integrating the Science of Love & Spirituality”
March 31–April 2, 2011, Harrisonburg, VA

A conference hosted by the Shenandoah Anabaptist Science Society and Eastern Mennonite University.

Featured Speakers: Sue Johnson, PhD; Daniel Siegel, MD; James Coan, PhD; John Paul Lederach, PhD; and Nancey Murphy, PhD.

Recent neuroscience demonstrates that connection is crucial for health. If relationship is essential for survival one of our most important tasks is to learn how to form healthy attachments—with each other, with the earth, and with God. This conference explores these dynamics through the lens of attachment theory and by bringing together nationally recognized voices from a variety of disciplines who will apply key insights from attachment theory to current research and practice.

Visit www.emu.edu/sass/conference for more information. Conference brochure and registration will be available in the fall of 2010. This conference is being funded by a grant from the Metanexus Institute, an organization dedicated to “Advancing the constructive Engagement of Religion and Science.”
