The Heartfulness Meditation Conference—featuring longtime meditation teacher Kamlesh D. Patel, bestselling author Gabrielle Bernstein and Grammy-nominated flutist Maestro Shashank—will be held from 4 to 8 p.m., June 25, at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. Attendees will learn a simple, practical meditation technique designed to help them manage the stress of a fast-paced world.

The highlight of the event will be a conversation with Patel, a 40-year practitioner and the primary teacher of Heartfulness meditation, a simple practice that enables meditators to consciously rest their minds. He will discuss the science of meditation, the evolution of consciousness and using the heart as a guide in everyday life. After giving talk and leading a meditation session, Patel will be joined by Shashank, who has performed at the Smithsonian, the Kennedy Center and the National Academy of Sciences.

The featured speaker will be Bernstein, author of “May Cause Miracles.” A renowned motivational speaker and spiritual teacher, she has been named a “next-generation thought leader” by Oprah Winfrey.
