Forbidden Tickets | Applied Neuroscience Consulting

Welcome to Applied Neuroscience Consulting — From Practical to Practice. Precision consults, personalized to answer your questions. This space is a subsect of the practice: Subaltern Pavilion.

DESCRIPTION:

This is a consultancy rooted in the perspectives of historically marginalized and underrepresented communities, offering Neuro-Socio-Political guidance on human experience shaped by socio-political and cultural systems.

We do not look at people in isolation. We offer Multi-level Analysis which delves into Neurobiology, Psychology, Politics, Economics and Socio-Cultural scripts that help in understanding people interacting with specific environments.

If you are seeking ways to do research, teaching, or client work that does not rely on capitalist extraction or colonial harm, you are in the right place. We are also accepting cases you'd like one-on-one consults on or even requests for coaching.

Politics weighing you down? Feeling like your future is uncertain? Want to regain control of your life or your practice? Ask your consultant about Anarchist Calisthenics!
