About the conference

Dr. Larry Ward is one of the planning committee members and he will be presenting at the conference.

American Buddhism is in a time of major transition. This moment of rapid social change is influencing the development of American Buddhism, even as American Buddhism is having an outsized influence on our culture. How can we open to the wealth of diversity and potential for spiritual depth dedicated to the welfare of the world?

We invite you to engage in an inclusive, interactive, dynamic conversation that will bring diverse practitioners from various lineages, generations and social locations into deeper connection. Together we can shape a vision to foster wise and compassionate action in the future. Let us gather to reflect on this moment and actively shape our future through community vision, conversation, and collaboration.
