On Sep. 23, on the steps outside Beverly Hills City Hall, Dr. Deepak Chopra led hundreds of community members in a guided meditation for the third installment of the Mayor’s Mental Wellness Series presented by Mayor Lili Bosse. The bestselling author, pioneer in alternative medicine, and leading figure in the mindfulness movement discussed creating a pandemic of joy, overall wellness, and what he calls the “happiness formula.” At the event, Bosse presented Chopra with a resolution from the city declaring each Sep. 23 “Deepak Chopra Day.”
“We’re in a different place now than we were these last few years, but I still feel that many of us are still carrying so much of what we’ve been through,” Bosse said. “And I feel that we’re carrying it in our bodies, we’re carrying it in our hearts, and we’re carrying it in how we relate to one another We’ve had to be isolated from each other, and I really wanted Dr. Chopra to give us tools for resilience, for hope, for connection, for love.”
