“This year’s MBA International Symposium dealt with the topic of wellness, in all its many forms, and it literally could not have been such a success without Meris Gebhardt’s input throughout the process.

Over several months she responded with her typical generosity of spirit, insight, wisdom and experience to shed light on topics ranging from the evolution of wellness and the wellness industry, the relative roles of the individual, government and society in the provision of wellness, and the future of wellness.

At the Symposium itself, she led two enormously impactful meditation sessions for our students and teachers from around the world. The feedback from all the participants was stunning, and at a personal level I was moved and found revelatory her ability to effortlessly involve and lead the meditation sessions, and the ways in which it provided windows into many different aspects of wellness.”
