Here's a selection of comments from Meditate08 attendees.

I’d like to that you all for the work you put in to running such a wonderful conference yesterday… what a beautiful gift you offered all of us in attendance – and I am sure the ripple effect of so much goodness is being felt all over Melbourne today!

I liked the wide range of speakers and performers - all offering different perspectives and teaching me new things.

Meditation Events presents Meditate 08, an unique event focusing on the practice of meditation - the inaugural Australian Meditation Conference & Expo.

To be held at the Melbourne Museum on Sunday June 22, this event will bring together many of Australia's leading meditation teachers, including Ian Gawler, Swami Shankarananda and Eric Harrison, as well as some of Australia's finest performing artists in the field of contemplative/intuitive music, including harpist Michael Johnson.

With a full conference program featuring 10 keynote addresses, 17 workshops and four musical performances, this event promises to be a wonderful opportunity for anyone with a personal or professional interest in meditation to explore this marvellous practice in its many diverse forms.

The conference program is open to the public and will be of particular interest to medical and health professionals, researchers and students, as leading experts present meditation-related research in body/mind medicine from neuroscience to physiology.

Admission to the Expo and nine of the 17 workshops is free. Ticket sales for the conference program of talks and workshops are available in full day and half day (morning or afternoon) packages.
