The conference also includes a talk from Congressman Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), who was featured in Mindful’s June 2013 issue.

Friday night’s public lecture by renowned meditation teacher and author Sharon Salzberg (also free for conference attendees) has shifted format with the addition of Tim Ryan (Saturday’s lunchtime speaker). Sharon and Tim will be presenting together on “Mindfulness, Our Youth and the Future of Citizenship in the World”.
