Weekly Mindfulness Meditation
Every Thursdays from 1:00-1:45pm
New York Insight Meditation Center
115 W. 29th St., 12th Fl, NYC

While the Rubin closed their physical location on 17th Street this past Sunday to embark on a next chapter as a global museum renamed as the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art, they continue to present Himalayan art through exhibitions, partnerships, a dynamic digital platform, and participatory experiences. One of these experiences is a weekly meditation session beginning Thursday, October 10th hosted and curated by the Rubin at the New York Insight Meditation Center.

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, such as Compassion, Impermanence, Unity, and Interconnectedness. The sessions are open to beginners and skilled meditators alike and include an opening talk, a 20-minute meditation session, and a closing discussion.
