Laurence talks about meditation to Google employees in California

Fr Laurence Freeman gave a talk at "Googleplex", the Google headquarters in California, on Wednesday, 18th January. He visited the company at the  invitation of Chade-Meng Tan, the 110th employee of Google from its early days, who now focuses on introducing contemplative practices for its staff. 

Laurence spoke from the Christian tradition of meditation on the theme "Knowledge is love", showing the practice of meditation as a way to reach a level of knowledge beyond the intellectual: the knowledge that comes from the heart. After the lecture the participants experienced a short meditation session and had time for questions.
