Sitting is the New Cancer: Kep Taiz at TEDx Tucson 2013

 

Kephart Taiz has designed a new type of chair. Mr. Taiz has become a local legend for his imaginative use of materials and radical innovation. Kephart Taiz is a musician, inventor, and pioneer in the field of therapeutic vibroacoustics. Kephart began researching the healing benefits of sound and ways of creating meditative states without actually meditating. His love of nature, intrigue with altered states of awareness, and experimentation with audio technology led Kephart to the invention of the TAIZ Sensorium: http://taizsensorium.com In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
