Meditation in the Galleries

Meditation in the Galleries at the Kreeger Museum is a guided mindfulness session held within the museum’s indoor Terrace Gallery, surrounded by works from artists such as Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró. Led by instructor Jeneen Piccuirro, the forty-five-minute meditation incorporates crystal singing bowls to deepen relaxation and focus. Participants can choose between a chair or a mat for seating, which is provided, and are asked to leave water bottles and yoga mats outside the museum. The program is designed to foster a calm, contemplative atmosphere, so late arrivals are not admitted and attendees must remain seated for the entire duration.

When: Saturdays, August 22 and September 12, from 10:00am to approximately 10:45am.

Showtimes: Doors open specifically for meditation participants at 9:50am to allow time to be seated by 10:00am; general check-in begins at 10:00am.

Tickets: Meditation only: $30. Meditation plus museum admission: $45. No refunds are issued for cancellations made fewer than 24 hours before the program; early cancellations should be emailed to the museum as soon as possible.

Lineup: The session is guided by Jeneen Piccuirro, a certified yoga teacher, sound healer, and artist who holds an MFA in painting and has taught at institutions including American University, Georgetown University, and the Chautauqua Institute.

Run time: The guided meditation lasts 45 minutes.

Ages: No specific age restrictions are mentioned; the quiet, seated format suggests it is designed for adults or older children capable of remaining still and silent.

Venue: The Kreeger Museum, 2401 Foxhall Road NW, Washington, D.C. 20007. The meditation takes place in the indoor Terrace Gallery. Limited parking is available on site, with only handicapped parking permitted in the circular forecourt.

Note: Participants should indicate on their reservation whether they prefer a chair or a mat. The program is generously supported by Diana Roday Hosford.
