Who, What, Where, Now!

Brain Food

Science or art?

Both disciplines involve and sustain the brain and its ability to work. This week there is something to stir all parts of the old grey matter. We have thought-provoking movies, a lecture on happiness by a French Buddhist monk and a discussion about art and its effect on the community. And, as always in our melodious valley, we have music: discussions on its origins and directions in the future. It may be September—when the mornings are chilly—but there remains plenty to keep us warm.
