Meditation helps us build a relationship to a place of inner quietude. Whether you’re a beginner or a skilled practitioner, join us for free, 30-minute online meditation sessions three times each week led by DC-based meditation teachers.

The practice of meditation is rooted in a variety of Asian spiritual traditions. Each month, we will use a different theme as a lens through which to explore these traditions. Friday sessions include inspiration from art in the museum collections as well as appearances by special guest teachers and artists. All are welcome! No previous experience is required.

In celebration of the National Cherry Blossom Festival, Friday meditation sessions in April will include inspiration from Japanese art in the museum collections. 

Meet our meditation teachers: Aparna Sadananda and Philip Bender.
