Eva Haller Zoom Salon Series

In collaboration with MY HERO, board member Eva Haller hosts a weekly Saturday salon that includes conversations and lectures from some of the greatest minds of today. To join us live for the Saturday Zoom sessions please email: myhero@myheroproject.org.

Upcoming presenters include:

Daniel Roy - October 30 - a sleight-of-hand magician with a bachelor's degree in neurobiology, digs into how magicians take advantage of limitations in our perceptual systems, the narrowness of our attention, and the ease with which our memories can be manipulated.

Frances Moore Lappé - November 6 - discussing the 50th-anniversary re-release of her revolutionary book Diet for a Small Planet. In this new edition, Lappé shows us how plant-centered eating can help restore our damaged ecology, address the climate crisis, and move us toward real democracy.

Yasmine Sherif - November 13 - has practiced human rights law with the United Nations since 1998, published a book in 2014 called The Case for Humanity: An Extraordinary Session, and in 2016 launched Education Cannot Wait (ECW) a UN-hosted, global fund for education in emergencies. She is the recipient of the 2020 MY HERO Global Educator Award. Sherif will be interviewed by MY HERO Board Member and Global Outreach Ambassador Mohamed Sidibay.

Salons begin at 2pm Pacific time. To view recordings of these inspiring talks, head to myhero.com/evasalonseries.
