Meditation and Healing: Twelve Moments at The Rothko
Chapel
Muslim Prayer and Meditation
The contemplative aspects of the world’s great
religious traditions are presented in this series of free lunchtime
presentations. From the silent "coming to presence" of the Buddhist
meditator, to the rhythmic chanting of Native American prayer, to the
euphoric joy of the Christian gospel choir, this series offers
participants a range of opportunities for greater insight, deepened
awareness, and spiritual development. Spiritual practice can offer the
possibility of healing—physical and psychological—as it deepens your sense
of meaning and our connection to what matters most.
Co-sponsored by Ligmincha Texas Institute, The Jung Center and M.D.
