Practice the art of mindfulness in this series of meditation sessions guided by Steven Tierney. Each session is inspired by a work of art from exhibitions on view at The CJM. Each session will include an opening discussion, a thirty-minute mindfulness exercise, and a closing reflection. Mindfulness meditation is known to release stress, calm the nervous system, and cultivate compassion.
Presented in partnership with California Institute for Integral Studies (CIIS) and the San Francisco Mindfulness Foundation.
