Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of Living, shares wit and wisdom that distills life’s most complex issues into everyday truths. His words create a deep sense of peace and resonance that transcends the intellect and makes one smile. As a renowned humanitarian, his goal of a society free of stress and violence through personal and social transformation has ignited an unprecedented global movement uplifting life all over the world.
“THE JOURNEY WITHIN: MEDITATION, WISDOM, AND THE ART OF LIVING JOYFULLY” will feature a powerful guided meditation, designed to access everyone’s inner source of joy, wonder, and true happiness. Attendees will discover practical tools to cultivate lasting happiness and well-being in their lives, and even people who have never meditated will find themselves dropping into a deep state of stillness.
