Explaining the EPRC — An In-Depth Conversation with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram and Gareth Gwyn

Описание: In this video, Dr. Daniel M. Ingram and Gareth Gwyn discuss the many aspects of the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium (EPRC) in depth and detail.

The EPRC is a group of 100+ multidisciplinary researchers from across the globe working to bring together clinical, scientific, and spiritual paradigms to improve clinical outcomes.

Thank you to everyone involved in this project, and a special thanks to Cat Ganson for editing this video and to Gareth for leading such a wonderful conversation.

Thank you for your interest in the EPRC!
