Keynote
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D.
Coming to Our Senses-Fearlessly
"It seems that the world is on fire and so are our hearts, inflamed with fear and uncertainty, lacking all conviction, and often filled with passionate but unwise intensity." So writes Jon Kabat-Zinn in the opening lines of his new book, Coming to Our Senses, echoing both the teachings of Buddhism and William Butler Yeats's 1921 poem, "The Second Coming." Bridging East and West for 25 years, Kabat-Zinn has become one of the nation's most informed and most articulate authorities on stress, mindfulness meditation, and healing. In this keynote address, Kabat-Zinn shows us how to courageously wake up to our rich and textured capacity to influence the unfolding of our lives and the health of the world.
