Guided Meditation for Black Lives Matter “Simone Leigh: The Waiting Room”: Care Sessions

As a response to recent violent events, the series of “Simone Leigh: The Waiting Room” care sessions has been expanded to include a weekly guided meditation in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. Tea will also be available in the exhibition’s apothecary during each session.

All meditation sessions are free and open to the public. Space is limited, and RSVP is required to attend. Please reserve a spot by writing to waitingroom@newmuseum.org with “Meditation” and the requested session date in the subject line (for example, “Meditation, Saturday July 23”). Reservations will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Participants will be admitted and tea will be served at 10 a.m., and guided meditation will begin at 10:30 a.m. All sessions will be led by Mona Chopra, except for those occurring on July 23, August 27, and September 17, which will be led by Aimee Meredith Cox. Please note that there will be no guided meditation session on September 3.
