Tuesday Evening Online Meditation. 6-7 PM

Engage in formal practice with your sangha! The three pillars of spiritual growth are to study, reflect, and meditate. Opportunities to meditate abound, but the support we give and receive when we come together as a community offers priceless and boundless multipliers to our meditation practice.

Start off the new year by creating loose, gestural drawings of Ganesha, the Hindu deity believed to be the remover of obstacles. Practice 2 to 5-minute sketches, drawing from a photo of SBMA’s 11th-century dancing Ganesha carved from sandstone.
