At the Chopra Foundation’s 2012 Sages and Scientists
Symposium brilliant minds from all over the world gathered to share their
thoughts about “The Merging of a New Future.” It was a stimulating conversation, filled with revelations
and sprinkled with optimism, with topics that ranged from medical research to
leadership in business, and even some social media. I can’t imagine any one other than Deepak who could bring together
such a fascinating array of speakers and entertainers! We heard from former President of
Mexico Vincente Fox, General Wesley Clark, Chemist, Quantum Physicists,
Corporate leaders, and more, and we were entertained by upcoming musical groups
Black Opera, Caught A Ghost, kid’s dance troupe The Miniotics, Flamenco dancers
and a group of male acrobats to performed on poles!
By the way, all of the volunteers at the Symposium looked
fabulous wearing the Jnana Yoga tee-shirts from WearLuck.com. Jnana Yoga is the path of knowledge, so
it’s perfect for this conference!
Each of the speakers received a tee-shirt in their gift bags as well,
and we got tons of great comments on them!
Here are some of the highlights of the conference that I
caught on video:
Dr. Rudy “Rock Star” Tanzi accepted the Spirit of Rustum Roy
Award for his contributions in Alzheimer’s Research. I was fortunate to get an interview with the late Dr. Roy
during the 2010 Symposium and you can see what he had to say about the “New
Science” in this video:

This year I was delighted to interview Dr. Lothar Schafer –
he had so many amazing things to say that I ended up making his interview into
three videos! Here’s one:
