The DVD recording of fhis webinar will introduce participants to the third branch of the autonomic nervous system, the smart vagus nerve. We will explore in depth the role this neural pathway plays in taming the stress response system so that we can find and maintain healthy human connection. Through interactive discussion, this webinar will explore the ways that society can shape this neural pathway and how this neural pathway then helps shapes society. - Abstract
