Curious Minds Book Club

Guides: Lisa Haake and Lisa Merrifield

Mondays, April 6 – May 18 • 6:30 pm (Central) • Online

What if the practices often labeled “woo-woo” actually have a scientific foundation?

In this 7-week virtual book club, we’ll read and discuss Why Woo-Woo Works by David R. Hamilton — a fascinating exploration of the research behind intuition, meditation, visualization, energy practices, kindness, and the mind-body connection.

Hamilton, a former pharmaceutical scientist, translates complex neuroscience and psychology into clear, accessible explanations for why many holistic and spiritual practices genuinely support health, wellbeing, and resilience.

This book club is designed for curious, thoughtful people who want to:

🌿 Understand the science behind mindfulness and intention
🌿 Explore how beliefs influence health and healing
🌿 Bridge evidence-based thinking with intuitive practice
🌿 Reflect on how these ideas apply to everyday life
🌿 Connect with a supportive, thoughtful community

Each week we’ll discuss key chapters, share reflections, and explore simple practical applications you can try in your own life. No prior experience with meditation, astrology, or holistic practices is required — just curiosity and an open mind.
