New Dimensions

Charles Halpern is a pioneer of public interest law. It is on his broad shoulders other fine public servants stand. He is an inspiration as he reveals his path of navigating the lessons of personal integrity, mindfulness, and balance while contributing wisely and compassionately in our social institutions. How do we bring our inner strengths to life and work? How may we be better leaders in our own communities of influence?

Halpern answers these and many other questions as he describes a life that has been dedicated to positive, social change, while bringing together the spiritual with practical daily life. He says, "To bring the contemplative dimension into mainstream institutions whether it is the law, medicine, academia, business, or journalism is an extremely important task. I think we have to hold-up the contemplative part of life and show that it is relevant not only for monks and contemplatives, but that it is an important part of each person's life in general. It certainly has been in mine." Discover a living example of a life lived in balance, clarity, and compassion while making enormous contributions to society.
