I was truly honored to take part in a panel about “Shifting the Global Consciousness” with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and other leading figures. The video of the panel is online here.

The following night, the Dalai Lama spoke to tens of thousands of people, who later listened to musicians from around the world perform in the “One World Concert.”
The Carrier Dome at Syracuse University was packed to hear the Dalai Lama speak and then listen to an international line-up of musicians.
