Exploring the “hidden face of God”

Our stories can bind us or set us free. They have the power to shape our identities and the world around us, and have been told since the dawn of civilization.

Join editor Tracy Cochran at the Rubin Museum of Art on August 24th from 2:00 PM until 5:00 PM for a a day of mindfulness meditation and mindful writing.

We will explore our storytelling nature, seeing how our stories can change—heartaches giving way to healing, endings leading to new beginnings. Writers and non-writers, meditators and absolute beginners are all welcome to come enjoy this day. For more information, please visit this link.
