  • Building Resilience through Spirituality with Dr. Lisa Miller
    Mar 26 2025
    “For a girl, spiritual life is even more important as the mooring, the deep embedded compass through which she guides and governs her life.”
    - Dr. Lisa Miller

    Spirituality is often misunderstood and ill-defined. Yet those who have studied it through the lens of brain research and understand the scientific truth behind its role in our lives offer compelling data of the power of developing our “spiritual brain.” Especially for girls, a spiritual core—which is separate and distinct from the practice of religion—shapes a sense of meaning, purpose, calling and connection. In fact, a girl’s relationship to her spiritual core is a substantial tool in her arsenal of well-being strategies.

    Skeptics may find the evidence supporting this claim too compelling to ignore.

    In "Building Resilience through Spirituality," learn about the game-changing role spirituality can play in a girl’s life from Dr. Lisa Miller, founder of the Spirituality Mind Body Institute at Columbia University. A foremost scientist on spirituality across the lifespan, her research has focused on the quantifiable effects of spirituality on our lives, and she has evidence that “children who are raised with a robust and well-developed spiritual life are happier, more optimistic, more flexible and better equipped to deal with life’s ordinary (and even extraordinary) traumas than those who are not.” She urges us to engage on this journey with the girls in our lives.
