Fast reading- frontal workshop

Scientific research have demonstrated that the brain elaborates data 400 millisecond before  the comprehension occurs on the conscious-logical level of the brain occurs. Faster reading techniques are known all over the world, as are known some famous speed readers such as J. F. Kennedy, T. Roosevelt, J. Carter etc. At this introductive course, after having set our initial reading velocity, and after having understood some facts about our brain and eyes in order to understand why and how we can read faster and more efficiently, we will acquire the practical technique and will immediately increase our reading velocity by 30%-50%. The course includes exercises in reading faster and better.

Memory enhancement- frontal workshop

Due to the huge amount of data we are exposed to continuously, it seems impossible to remember all the data we would like to.  As we get older, we accumulate more data, making it very difficult to remember everything. Memory can be trained to find the data we seek for and bring it to the surface.  In this introductive workshop we shall understand how memory works, what are its 4 stages and will learn various techniques to perceive, codify, conserve and retrieve  our memories.  * The workshop includes practical application of the techniques.

Mind organizing maps- frontal workshop

The first man named all the animals and we keep on doing naming things today through words, symbols and paintings. The computerized search engines taught us to be concise and to use just a few words in order to retrieve any information. The ability to create a mind-map of the things we study, read, think or program helps to consolidate data in our memory and have at our disposal a “treasure map”  that will help us bring this information to the surface.  In this introductory workshop we shall practice how to create mind-maps for various uses.

Relaxation and meditation- short course

Many researches have already documented the benefits that meditation has on the mental and physical health, the immune system and on happiness and the general well-being.  To be able to create voluntarily silence inside us has become on of the most necessary skills one needs today in order to be able to evaluate and decide, find solutions to problems and in general to think. Often people don’t relax  because they simply don’t know how to do that! In a short, informal workshop we shall understand how it works, exercise it and learn how to do it by our own in our daily life.
