Kaira Jewel Lingo

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 inspired by a different work of art from the Rubin Museum’s collection. The program includes an opening talk, a twenty-minute sitting session, and a closing discussion.

This week’s online meditation session will be led by Kaira Jewel Lingo and the theme for this month is Care.

This program is presented in partnership with Sharon Salzberg, the Interdependence Project, and Parabola Magazine and supported by the Frederick P. Lenz Foundation for American Buddhism.
