The Rev. Dr. Paul J. Rennick, C.S.B.
Distinguished Speaker Series on Spirituality and Well Being

The term spirituality can have a great confusion of meanings surrounding it. Some people seem to think that spirituality refers to something rarified and esoteric, and that spirituality is very different from, and even opposed to, other aspects of our humanity and biological reality. This I think is totally misguided. My approach to spirituality is captured in the words of St. Iranaeus, a Christian martyr of the second century who said: The glory of God is the human person fully alive. Spirituality is about a fullness of life and how that fullness can be achieved. Much more can be said about spirituality but I thought this caveat needed to be stated.

Rev. Dr. Paul J. Rennick, CSB.

The presentation by Dr. Norman Doidge on “The Brain That Changes Itself” TM was held on October 2, 2011.

The Rev. Dr. Paul J. Rennick, C.S.B. Distinguished Speaker Series on Spirituality and Well Being is sponsored by Dr. Dan Andreae, an honorary degree recipient of Assumption University.

He will speak on the topic of “The Brain That Changes Itself TM: The discovery that our minds can alter the very structure of our brains, and what that means.” He will offer a book signing session. Further such annual presentations will be conducted in consultation with Dr. Andreae.
