About the show
Breathe deep, relax…and learn about art. Getty’s first video podcast encourages you to engage with works of art mindfully, wherever you are. Part art history, part mindfulness meditation, each episode focuses on one work of art and uses it as an inspiration for meditation and reflection. Learn about Edvard Munch’s time on Norway’s coast then imagine the blue light of his Starry Night traveling through your body, releasing tension as it goes. Or take inspiration from Van Gogh’s Irises to bring new awareness to your senses.
Long-time museum educator and meditation practitioner Lilit Sadoyan translates her work leading mindfulness meditation tours at the Getty Museum into a podcast that fits into your daily routine.
Can’t get enough? Between episodes, catch Lilit’s interviews with fascinating guests like a planetary climate scientist, a sleep historian, a mountain climber, and an art conservator. Conducted as part of the research process, these casual conversations provide new insights into the week’s artwork and meditation theme.
