John T. Kesler is a practicing attorney in Salt Lake City, Utah and he also shares an awareness and meditation practice and has been a social activist through writing, speaking, facilitating and consulting. He always closely links working on internal awareness, integration and growth with social activism in the world, as a part of his own life practice and as a core aspect of what he shares with others. In addition, he and his colleagues mentor communities in the context of a global environment through the non-profit organization, which he founded and chairs, the Salt Lake Center for Engaging Communities.

John served as Communities Editor of National Civic Review, the oldest and most respected journal in the United States addressing local civic and democratic practices. He also served as director of the official meditation center for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

John recently acted as executive director and was on the board of the Utah 3Rs program, dedicated to promoting religious liberty principles and civility in Utah Schools. In 2008 John convened the citizens of the State of Utah in developing a "Call to Civility and Community; Ground Rules for Discourse and Behavior", which was endorsed by all top state leaders in Utah in all branches of government and both major political parties.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
