Rejuvenate: Find Balance in the Bungalow

Rothko Chapel 3900 Yupon St., Houston, TX, United States

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed and disconnected? These emotions, all too common for many, were part of the inspiration behind the Rothko Chapel’s upcoming educational series “Rejuvenate: Find Balance in the Bungalow.”

Led by experienced teachers, these structured courses represent different approaches to meditation, all aimed at centering and quieting the mind, public programs director Michelle Ashton explained.

“The Rejuvenate series is aimed at helping people find enrichment from awareness and mindfulness through meditation,” she said. “We hope the community joins us to learn a variety of ways to cultivate relaxation or deepen their concentration through contemplative practices.”
