    Dear MSR Members and Listserv,

    We invite you to attend the "MINDFULNESS AND COMPASSION: THE ART AND SCIENCE OF CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICE" conference, to be convened at San Francisco State University, June 3-7, 2015.


    How can contemplative practices and scientific research efforts best inform each other for a greater common good? Internationally recognized scholars and contemplatives will explore this issue in what promises to be a thought provoking multi-disciplinary dialogue. Featured speakers include Dr. Josephine Briggs (Director NIH NCCAM), Robert Thurman (Columbia), Venerable Ajahn Amaro (Amaravati Buddhist Monastery), David Vago (Harvard Medical School), Willoughby Britton (Brown), Geoffrey Samuel (University of Sydney), Cliff Saron (UC, Davis), Eijun Linda Cutts (San Francisco Zen Center), Gregory Kramer (Insight Dialogue), and many more. We invite you to participate.
