VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

The contemplative aspects of the world’s great religious traditions are presented in the Twelve Moments of Spirituality and Healing Series, a series of free lunchtime programs. Spiritual practice can offer the possibility of healing—physical and psychological—as it deepens a sense of meaning and connection to what matters most. 

A parallel monthly meditation series is held at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center on selected Thursdays. For the M.D. Anderson meditation schedule and directions, please call 713-792-7184 or email mjkenned@mdanderson.org.
