☀️ Shared experience for shared reflection ☀️ At its core, MESEC aims to create inspiring spaces for contemplation, reflection and in-depth discussion in beautiful landscapes far from labs. Our events allow participants to find their place in the vibrant, collaborative consciousness science community.

☀️ By design, MESEC workshops are centered on intellectual exchanges between participants and speakers. 🎤 Inspired by the Mediterranean tradition of rhetoric, the mental imagery workshop is your opportunity to practice scientific communication in a kind and constructive environment ! urls.fr/4Bc6eq

Dreams, aphantasia, inner speech, synesthesia, mind-wandering… Mental imagery quietly links them all across paradigms and models. MESEC workshops aim to bring together researchers across fields for an intensive week of ideas and collaboration, far from the usual conference rush 🌿 bit.ly/4a6qWZ7
