Energy to Mind: Integrating Our “Self”-Organizing Feedback Loops (The 28th Annual Santa Fe Symposia 2022)

Santa Fe, NM US
October 14, 2022 to October 16, 2022

Speaker:  John B. Arden, PhD, ABPP

This seminar pulls together the emerging research on metabolism, genomics, neuroscience, psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and Complexity Theory, combining them with what we have learned from psychotherapy research.  This integrative perspective promotes the revolution in how we conceptualize energy, the mind, self, and so therapy for psychological disorders.  We can now understand how our mitochondria play a central role in generating energy which profoundly affects our immune system, diet, brain structure, and even gut bacteria effect mental health.  

By clarifying the terms energy, mind, and the self, which had been used for over a century without consensus, the seminar integrates current research so that we can find consensus.  We explore how our life-sustaining and memory systems contribute to feedback loops, which together contribute to the organization of the self.    

We explore how our brains are endowed with mental operating networks that interact through feedback loops to form what we can call the mind.  These mental operating networks feedback to each other to organize a coherent sense of self. This “self”-organization is driven by energy (called ATP) generated by mitochondria within all of our cells to fuel the feedback loops between gene expression, our immune system, brains, and its mental operating networks.    

 

Our COVID-19 Safety Precautions are as follows:  We will be following local, state and Federal event and meeting protocols to ensure the health and safety of all attendees, staff, and the local community and will update all attendees on these protocols as we get closer to the meeting date.  At this time, we are requesting that individuals be vaccinated before attending the meeting or have a negative COVID-19 test.  If you feel ill on the day, we respectfully ask that you do not attend the meeting (a refund will be issued).
