Legendary spiritual guru, physician, author and world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine, Deepak Chopra, made his way to Jacksonville as part of the Women’s Board of Wolfson Children’s Hospital’s Florida Forum speaker series, Jan. 15.

Chopra shared his valuable time with patrons during his stage appearance at the Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts alongside his longtime friend and the evening’s moderator, Jacksonville Jaguars owner, Shad Khan. Khan and Chopra enlightened guests with a back and forth about topics ranging from World Wars to COVID-19 and mRNA vaccines, AI, technological breakthroughs, and optimism for the future collective of humanity.

One of the most poignant insights from Chopra was a global concern regarding a major fork in the road; one where our future can take a direction one way or the other – to more Medieval times and weaponry; or a return to enlightenment, peace and prosperity for all of humankind. He is a fan of the latter, of course.

Chopra was the second of three speakers in the series, as the Rt Hon Boris Johnson visited in October of ’24, the third and final installment will take place Feb. 12. Novelist, journalist, and Floridian Carl Hiaasen will take the stage at 7p.m. at the Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts.
