The Surprising Science Behind Why Woo-Woo Works

A free live masterclass with Dr David R Hamilton

The Masterclass was held on 20 October

Here's a link to learn more about my "Why Woo-Woo Works" online course that I speak about at the end.

Have you ever felt that meditation, visualisation, energy healing, or intuition genuinely work, but struggled to explain why?

Join me in this free evening where we'll explore the real science behind these practices. The science is clear and accessible, and it doesn't take away the mystery or the magic.

In this hour, you'll discover:

  • How the placebo effect actually works in the brain and body
  • What research really shows about energy healing practices like Reiki
  • Why the brain doesn't fully distinguish between real and imaginary experiences, and what that means for visualisation.

There will be time for questions too.
