CMP Board Member Nick Seaver is a dad, commuter, and busy professional who once upon a time, in the land before children, saved up a bit of money, stepped away from a busy professional life, put all his belongings into storage, and spent 18 months in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, in full time silent retreat, as part of the first major scientific study on meditation.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.  For full talk click here.
