The UCSF Osher Center invites you to attend the second annual Maurice Kanbar Lecture on Innovations in Integrative Medicine, featuring Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, Founding Executive Director of the Center for Mindfulness. The title of the lecture is “The Entanglement of Meditation and Medicine, and What Love’s Got to Do with It."

He is the author of ten books, including the bestsellers Full Catastrophe Living; Wherever You Go, There You Are; and Mindfulness for Beginners. His work has contributed to a growing movement of mindfulness into mainstream institutions, such as medicine, psychology, health care, neuroscience, K-12 schools, higher education, business, social justice, criminal justice, prisons, the law, technology, government, and professional sports.
