Tapping Into Our Brainpower: Exploring Happiness Chemicals

The Rev’d Jess Elfring-Roberts (she/they) is Executive Director of Episcopal Camps and Conference Centers. She is an award winning improv comedian from Chicago. Jess has BA in Acting and Comedy from Columbia College, Chicago and a M.Ed. from Moreland University, Washington, DC.

 
Jess is a lifelong Episcopalian, formed for ministry in the Diocese of Chicago and served in camping ministries throughout college and beyond. She was ordained a Deacon in 2013 and currently serves at Church of our Saviour, Chicago. Jess has been teaching wellness and improv to people of all ages for 10 years and incorporates that work into her ministry context. In Jess’s spare time she enjoys filmmaking and spending time with her family.
 
During this regular Formation Leader Gathering Zoom, Jess will lead us explore the four key happiness chemicals: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. This plans to be an interactive zoom designed to delve into the fascinating world of neurotransmitters and their role in our happiness.
