HYBRID: Nirvana: Transforming the Pursuit of Happiness

Sunday, September 20, 2026 - 1:30pm to 3:00pm

Join Surja Tjahaja for a mindfulness presentation on Sunday, September 20 at 1:30pm. Happiness is the ultimate end-game of what we do in life. This talk reviews current understandings of happiness from the perspectives of neuroscience, philosophy, and mindfulness. A short experiential meditation session offers you a firsthand feeling of Nirvana.

Surja Tjahaja has practiced mindfulness for 26 years and has taught locally for the past 16 years. He has just authored his first book that integrates the wisdom of mindfulness with a deep understanding of the workings of mind and body drawn from modern science.
