David Nichtern, Ethan Nichtern, & Dr. Michele Tugade: Can There Be Such a Thing as Mindful Politics?

Father David and son Ethan Nichtern have each had a profound impact on the meditation community in the United States. In this Brainwave talk they discuss the perspective that mindfulness can bring to our unsettled political climate and in particular how the image of the Wheel of Life can be used to make sense of an uncertain future. ABOUT BRAINWAVE You live inside your head every day, but do you understand how it works? Brainwave, the Rubin’s longest-running program series, investigates how our minds shape our everyday experiences, incorporating Eastern and Western philosophy, science, art, and other disciplines. Every spring, a unique theme unifies the Rubin Museum’s programs, including on-stage conversations between neuroscientists and notable personalities, films, and immersive visitor experiences. #ourpower #rubinmuseum #brainwave Brainwave is supported in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
