Next Luncheon: When life breaks, the mind can heal. | Waterfront Botanical Gardens
Cultural Experiences
We’re honored to welcome Dr. Caroline Leaf.
She'll be exploring the mind, brain, & ways to help people take the next step forward in grief.
This year’s NEXT Luncheon brings together grievers, caregivers, and the professionals who support them for a rare conversation at the intersection of neuroscience and human experience.
Dr. Caroline Leaf, is a clinical neuroscientist and world-recognized expert in psychoneurobiology.
Her work bridges the mind–brain–body connection, the levels of the mind, and her groundbreaking Neurocycle method for managing toxic thoughts, trauma responses, and emotional overwhelm.
Whether you're:
navigating your own loss,
walking alongside someone in pain, or
serving in roles such as social worker, therapist, chaplain, nurse, or physician, you’ll gain insight into how the brain processes trauma — and practical strategies to support real, sustainable healing.
This isn't about clichés or surface-level encouragement.
It's about equipping individuals and professionals with tools grounded in science and shaped by compassion.
Join us for a luncheon that goes deeper — into the heart, into the brain, and into what truly helps people take their next step forward.
