Kate Johnson

A meditation session led by Kate Johnson.

In observation of social distancing practices, we are pleased to present Mindfulness Meditation online. Register to attend a live program and connect from home.

Whether you’re a beginner, a dabbler, or a skilled meditator seeking the company of others, join expert teachers in a forty-five-minute weekly program. Each session is inspired by a different work of art from the Rubin Museum’s collection. Designed to fit into your lunch break, the program includes an opening talk, a twenty-minute sitting session, and a closing discussion. Chairs will be provided.

This program is presented in partnership with Sharon Salzberg, the Interdependence Project, and Parabola Magazine.

The Rubin is pleased to offer audio support with “Listen Everywhere,” a free app for audio streaming at our theater programs. You can download “Listen Everywhere” for free on your personal smartphone, or borrow an audio listening device from the Museum. Click here for more information.
