Meditation helps us build a relationship to a place of inner quietude. To contribute to a sense of calm in this uncertain time, we are offering free 30-minute online meditations three times each week led by DC-based meditation teachers. These free sessions are appropriate for all levels of practitioners and include a variety of mindfulness practices. Sessions on Fridays include inspiration from art in the museum collections. All are welcome! No previous experience is required.
Meet our meditation teachers: Aparna Sadananda and Philip Bender. The focus artwork for this session will be a metalwork plate from ancient Persia. Join the sessions here:
