Best-selling author, yoga teacher, and life coach Jennifer Pastiloff will lead an inspirational session and discuss her book, On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard.

Born with tinnitus, Pastiloff’s condition worsened to the point where she can only hear with supersonic hearing aids combined with reading lips. During this session, she’ll share how hearing loss taught her to listen fiercely, how years of waitressing taught her to seek out unexpected beauty, and how imperfections can lead to a life full of happiness.
