Author Charles Halpern Talks About Making Waves

By Joyce Kryszak

Buffalo, NY – Buffalo native, attorney and author Charles Halpern returns to his hometown tonight to share what he's learned about melding activism and meditation. The author of Making Waves and Riding the Currents speaks at Talking Leaves Books Thursday night at 7:00 PM.

The one-time corporate attorney founded the nation's first public interest law firm and currently chairs the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society. He will explain his twenty-five year journey working to blend the practice of wisdom with the practice of law.

WBFO's Joyce Kryszak reached Halpern by phone in Toronto and talked with him about his philosophies.
