A huge grateful thank you to everyone who came and took part in Meditation Mondays: Mocktails & Mediation this past year. As we say, a portion of the proceeds go to the monks who shared the mediation with us, and this is their project your ticket costs supported on top of buying yourself great food and drinks each time!!!

Thank you for being a part of Good Food & Gratitude and Mocktails & Meditation with us and sharing the Avalokitesharva Gratitude Meditation. For all the nights of singing with Christa Galactica Everest and Joseph Michael Katta , great food with friends and family like Jennifer Houst and Ember, times watching great documentaries about psychedlic medicine, Norma Tallulah Shea playing violin and serving tea that one time, when we did the viewing of Becoming Nobody, for all the great times. Thank you all, and to all those who came who I'm not able to tag here, all the love!

The Rosenthal Effect, also known as the Pygmalion Effect, is one of the most unsettling findings in psychology because it shows how human expectations can quietly shape reality. First demonstrated by psychologist Robert Rosenthal, the effect revealed that when people believe someone will succeed or fail, their behavior subtly changes in ways that make that belief more likely to come true.

In the original classroom experiments, teachers were told that certain students showed exceptional potential, even though the labels were randomly assigned. Over time, those students performed better academically. Psychology explains this through expectation driven behavior. Teachers unknowingly gave more attention, encouragement, patience, and feedback to the students they believed were gifted. The students responded to that treatment, not to any inherent difference.

From a psychological perspective, the brain is highly responsive to social signals. Tone of voice, facial expressions, body language, and emotional warmth all influence motivation and self belief. When positive expectations are present, the brain interprets the environment as supportive, increasing confidence, focus, and persistence. Negative expectations do the opposite, activating stress responses that interfere with learning and performance.

The Rosenthal Effect is unsettling because it operates unconsciously. People are rarely aware they are shaping outcomes. This applies not only in education, but also in parenting, leadership, therapy, and relationships. Beliefs held by authority figures or loved ones can strengthen or weaken another person’s psychological development.
