Mind/Body: Contemplative Art Viewing

Join mindfulness educator Mitra Manesh for a contemplative art viewing session in the exhibition Intersections: World Arts/Local Lives.

Mindfulness educator Mitra Manesh will lead a contemplative art viewing session in the exhibition Intersections: World Arts/Local Lives. Held from 11 am–12 pm, before the museum opens to the public, this quiet hour will offer a rare opportunity to experience the galleries in peace and stillness. Through mindfulness practices, participants will deepen their connection to both the artworks and their own self-awareness.

Mitra Manesh, a graduate of UCLA’s mindfulness facilitation program and senior mindfulness educator, brings decades of experience coaching leaders in diverse fields, from Fortune 500 companies to art institutions, including collaborations with Amazon, UCLA Anderson School of Management, the Hammer Museum, and more. A former Human Rights Commissioner and recipient of the 50th Golden Jubilee Medal from Queen Elizabeth II, Manesh integrates a unique blend of mindfulness, creativity, and insight.

This program is in partnership with UCLA Mindful
