Sharon Salzberg's program was a great success here in Durham at Duke. People loved her presentations. At the end of the Saturday workshop, this meditation teacher received a standing ovation from the sold out crowd of 340 people. Over 550 attended her Friday evening lecture. I have received a great deal of positive energy feedback from the people who gathered. Also i want to thank again you the readers of my emails, everybody who encouraged and supported this magical event happening. I understand almost 100 duke students were able to attend these inspiring sessions with Sharon. Makes me feel good about the future. 
 
We are working on a way to make recordings available from the lecture and workshop.
More information will come about that when we have it ready.
