Internationally known spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will speak in Winston-Salem Thursday. 

Shankar will present his event “The Sixth Sense: Meditation and Wisdom with Gurudev” at Wait Chapel on the campus of Wake Forest University. 

He’s the founder of the Art of Living Foundation, an educational and humanitarian organization with locations in 180 countries, including a retreat center in Boone. 

In a statement, Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines said it’s an honor to host Shankar and encouraged people to see him in person.

Shankar’s Winston-Salem visit is part of a U.S. tour that will culminate in an appearance at the three-day World Cultural Festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. this fall.
