"Walk the Line"

7pm EST talks begin
(doors open on Facebook LIVE & Instagram LIVE @ 7pm EST for talks)
In order to cause change, sometimes we have to not
"walk the line" but cross it...
a mind-expanding cocktail
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor said in 2019 for a #StrokeofGenius Roundtable interview - "We all have different perceptions of reality and somehow in another, just because we have two eyes, two ears, a nose, and a mouth, we think we are experiencing the same external world, and WE ARE NOT."
We are doing things differently. The theme is called "WALK THE LINE". At The Brain Bar Salon, we are used to showcasing stories, show n' tell about what cool things we are doing after brain injury to shine a light on what is possible. In this Brain Bar, we are going to show and make everyone feel what we struggle with day after day to WALK away with more empathy, compassion, understanding, and hope to make the world a better place. So we are going to get down to the REAL RAW conversation about what is actually happening and WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT!
Many dreams are broken. That is where we get the term "Broken Brains." After a brain injury, we lose hope, think we are not good enough, never going to be able to do what we used to, and limit ourselves to opportunities all around us.
What if through The Brain Bar Salon, we are able to create a new realm of possibilities around discovering, remapping, and achieving our new selves so that we are able to go out and create a life that is meaningful. We can create new possibilities instead of limiting ourselves to "Broken Brains."
I know we can because I have been navigating my new life on this journey for the past 24 years after my brain aneurysm. I look forward to inviting experts with fresh perspectives for a dialogue that will help transform all of our own possibilities.
This 2022, we are going to surprise you at each of The Brain Bar Salons.

We can't wait to reveal our guests for this year and serve YOU a mind-expanding cocktail.

ABOUT US
We believe in showcasing just what can be done using the power of our brain.
The Brain Bar Salon
is a gathering of like-minded individuals celebrating people within our brain community. We share stories and expand perspectives through the power of conversation. Alongside live entertainment, we hear talks on the selected theme and connect with one another for a tasteful evening.
At the end of the night, we all learn something new about our amazing brains.
How the evening unfolds
Gather
People from all across the brain community meet and greet - i.e. Doctors, patients, survivors, caregivers, family, all in one place
share
Each month has a theme "xxx and the Brain" and there will be 3 guest speakers sharing what they are up to right now and how it relates to the theme.
q&a
As the "salon" format
goes, in between each guest we open it up for questions because 10 minutes isn't enough and others will be intrigued by the share.
open discussion
This is where the magic happens. We open up the floor for everyone to have the best ideas and most important conversations that come from these shares.
What attendees say...
Jim Kwik

“Speaking at The Brain Bar allowed me to connect and have an honest conversation with like-minded individuals about what's possible. This salon brings together a dynamic group of people, from different life paths all looking to reclaim their Brain.”

"It's like a dinner party and you get to see all your favorite people. Each month is so different, you walk away learning something new."
Vince Holland

Stroke Survivor
"Being a part of the night and speaking to the presenters made it feel like a dialogue and I would DEFINITELY invite anyone who is thinking about it, to get to a Brain Bar event. Bring your curiosity and an open mind. There is so much perspective to share and gain from the events and I know you will enjoy them as much as I do."
We look forward to having you at The Brain Bar and helping you create your own possibility.
