The Rubin Museum of Art presents a weekly meditation for beginners and skilled meditators alike. Each episode is inspired by a work of art from the Museum’s collection and is led by a prominent meditation teacher. This podcast is recorded in front of a live audience at the Museum, and includes an opening talk and a 20-minute meditation session. Join us as we learn to quiet the mind, open the heart, and engage with the world more consciously
This Mindfulness Meditation session was recorded during a Hindustani Music and Meditation program that took place at the Rubin Museum on June 28, 2024.
