The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) Tucson presents Dr. Allen J. Hamilton, a local figure known for his neurosurgery and his spirituality, at 6:30 p.m., May 2, at Unity of Tucson. He is the author of The Scalpel and the Soul: Encounters with Surgery, the Supernatural and the Healing Power of Love, and a recently published title, Zen Mind, Zen Horse.

Hamilton will speak about his current work, The Science of Flow States. He explains, “What happens physically when we are ‘in the zone’; in that state of such complete absorption in what we are doing, is that we lose track of everything else, including the passage of time.” He will discuss the neuroscience of flow states and what we can do to foster more of them in our lives.
