Meditation Retreat: Being With Change

Join meditation teacher Tracy Cochran for a day-long retreat in the calming and inspiring environment of the Rubin Museum.

Life can be difficult for everyone. We strive to feel better. We seek new skills and understanding. And we may improve a bit, becoming somewhat more relaxed or less quick to anger. Yet deep down we may still feel a certain sorrow and unease. Nothing we do can stop life from passing, or keep unexpected and unwelcome things from happening, or make moments of joy and attainment endure. How can we find peace, freedom, and wise action in the midst of change? Join us for a day of mindful meditation and writing, with a deep look at a work of art in the galleries, exploring what it can mean to let go and be part of the flow of life.

This program meets in the theater. A generous lunch break is provided from 1:00″“2:30 PM for eating and enjoying the Rubin’s galleries and other offerings.
