This introductory series to the Black diasporic contemplative tradition will focus on people of African descent in the United States. Exploring the deep roots of Black contemplation, participants will garner an expansive understanding of both Blackness and contemplation and how to deepen our own contemplative lives.
Our capacity for this series is 20 people. All are welcome to attend; priority is given to BIPOC applicants. You must commit to attending at least 5 of the 7 sessions. Applications are now closed.

Join us for an hour of contemplation and meditation at the Cathedral of the Incarnation's Museum of the Moon. UK artist Luke Jerram's large-scale 20-ft, 3D representation of the moon was created using detailed NASA imagery. This awe-inspiring work of art has been displayed in cathedrals, museums, and other public spaces the world-over. For the best experience, join us in person in Garden City, NY. We will also live stream the meditation.
