Wednesday | April 20 | Lecture 7 – 9 p.m. | Book signing 6:30 – 7 p.m. Sharp Theatre in the Berrie Center

We yearn for connection with others, but often our mind creates assumptions, distractions, fears, expectations, or a personal sense of unworthiness that can contribute to feelings of separation. With mindfulness and lovingkindness techniques, Sharon Salzberg will guide participants through the process of seeing through layers of habit – whether rooted in fear, self-condemnation or other mental conditioning to grow this sense of connection. There will be a book signing of Real Happiness, (available for purchase), before the lecture. Sharon Salzberg is a meditation teacher and New York Times best-selling author.
