The Mindful Symposium

Dr. Larry Ward, author of “America’s Racial Karma” and Director of the Lotus Institute speaks to us about utilizing mindfulness/spirituality towards broader communal change.

Dr. Brandon Lamson, PhD in Creative Writing & Literature, joins us to speak about his experiences of Kyosaka, Zen Buddhism and his book ‘Starship Taiti’ which are based on experiences working with inmates in Rykers Prison.

Welcome to the Mindful Symposia Series. This series is a deep dive into the research and practice of yoga, meditation, and well-being. Our hope is that we can bring some of the interesting conversations about our field out of Ivory Towers and into your ears.
