Sharon Lukert will draw on her recently released book\, “Until My Memory Fails Me\,” to explore the intersection of meditation practice with real-world concerns surrounding cognitive decline.

She studied with Pema Chödrön for more than 30 years. Sharon has facilitated workshops and study groups on Buddhism\, meditation\, death and dying\, and bereavement support in various settings.
