Meditate with a Himalayan Monk 
Guided Meditation by His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda 
Pay What You Can $0-25, general admission bench seating

Join a transformative midday experience with His Holiness Swami Vidyadhishananda, a Himalayan siddha monk and meditation adept, as he leads a guided meditation rooted in the tradition of ancient Himalayan techniques. This guided meditation is suitable for all levels. 

The session will open with a brief introduction to the conceptual framework of the practice, followed by the meditation led by His Holiness. Participants will be guided to still the fluctuations of thought and imagery, reposing into a space of self-awareness within the tranquil atmosphere of the Rothko Chapel. The event will conclude with a few moments of fellowship outside by the reflection pond, where guests may exchange words and greetings with His Holiness and nun of the monastic order, Sadhvi Girija. 

Take this opportunity to mindfully pause during your day, reconnect with inner stillness, and experience the timeless teachings of Himalayan meditation and higher yoga in a sacred and serene setting. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early to settle into the space before the start of the program.
