WEDNESDAYS 12:30-1 PT

On Zoom

In this 30 minute drop-in session, we explore principles and practices of mindfulness meditation from a multiplicity of perspectives, drawing inspiration and insight from poetry, Buddhist teachings, modern neuroscience, secular mindfulness, indigenous wisdom, the natural world, popular culture, mysticism, and the lived experience of one another. Each session includes reflections on a theme, 15 minutes of guided meditation, and conversation in a supportive community. Meditators at any level of practice are welcome.

(These weekly sessions will resume in September 2023).

Livestream & In Person, Hammer Museum, Billy Wilder Theater, 10899 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles

In this 30 minute drop-in session, we explore mindfulness meditation practices together in a hybrid global community of meditators who gather in person and on line at the beautiful Hammer Museum. Mindfulness is the moment-by-moment awareness of our inner and outer experiences with an attitude of openness, kindness, and acceptance. Research has shown that mindfulness practice can reduce stress, improve attention, boost the immune system, reduce emotional reactivity, and promote a general sense of health and wellbeing. Meditators at any level of practice are welcome.
