About the keynote

Waiting is full of expectation. Waiting for the next moment to arrive we miss this one. Waiting for the moment of death we miss all the moments in between. Drawing on decades of  mindfulness practice and his work in accompanying thousands of people at the end of life, Frank Ostaseski will explore how Don’t wait is a pathway to fulfillment and an antidote to regret.
