Event Details

Join us for an author talk and hands-on workshop with local author Jim Houliston, Author and MMD Trainer, SymmetryBrainGym.com 
Two of history's greatest genius polymaths, Leonardo da Vinci and Benjamin Franklin, had a peculiar practice: they both mirror wrote and mirror read for decades. Why did they practice this? How did it make their brains more efficient? Learn about this powerful tool to exercise your brain.  You'll also learn how to practice mirror movement development (MMD) to experience the brain-growing benefits yourself. And if you're really into brain exercises, you can even try mirror typing on Jim's unique mirrored keyboard! Materials provided.
