Program
Plenary sessions, breakouts, workshops, musical performances, and a trip to Lodi Lake will help to make AUM 2016 a rich and integral experience. Audience-participatory formats and a balance of activities will ensure that not just the mind but other parts of the nature are engaged.
Organizers hope that AUM 2016 will offer opportunities for new understandings in sadhana that will continue to bear fruit after the conference is over.
