Nature & Neuroscience Workshop – The Plant Wisdom Project
The Plant Wisdom Project: Nature & Neuroscience Workshops
Event Organizer
Hosted by neuroscientist Dr. Marion Oberhuber, this evidence-based workshop explores what recent research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology reveals about how nature supports attention, stress regulation, and neuroplasticity. Participants engage with hands-on gardening in the Goethe-Institut's herb and vegetable garden, connecting scientific concepts directly to lived experience. Topics include flow state, attention restoration, the vagus nerve, cortisol, soil microbes, and practical tools to integrate into daily life.
