About this Event
This program is held on the second Thursday of the month, October - December 2026.
Join us in the James Turrell Skyspace for a guided meditation to cultivate calm and presence through mind-body-breath connection. Immersed within the awe-inspiring interior of Turrell’s artwork, participants will enjoy a 30-minute guided meditation led by a mindfulness facilitator.
Please note that while the Skyspace is covered, it is unheated—dress accordingly for the weather. Doors open at 11:15 AM, with walk-ins welcome starting at 11:25 AM (no late entry). After the program, consider exploring the museum or stopping by the café.
