In-Person and Online: Rubin Museum Mindfulness Meditation
with Tashi Chodron
Thursday, August 7th, 2025 | 1:00pm – 1:45pm ET
In-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor
Practice the art of attention in this weekly meditation session hosted and curated by the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art.
For centuries Himalayan practitioners have used meditation to quiet the mind, open the heart, calm the nervous system, and increase focus. Mindfulness Meditation is a refuge from the world around us, as well as an opportunity to engage with it more consciously.
Inspired by works of art from the Rubin’s collection and guided by expert teachers, each session is framed around a monthly theme. The sessions are open to beginners and skilled meditators alike and include an opening talk, a 20-minute meditation session, and a closing discussion.
