A little serenity can go a long way.
 
To help the community of Houston start February off with a bit more mental peace and clarity, the Rothko Chapel is hosting a Bon-Buddhist meditation, scheduled for noon on Wednesday, Feb. 1.
 
Alejandro Chaoul, who has been teaching meditation for more than 20 years, will lead guests in meditation from the ancient tradition originating in Tibet.
 
Chaoul is assistant professor and director of education at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center’s Integrative Medicine program, an associate faculty member at the McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics at University of Texas Medical School and a board member and teacher of meditation and Tibetan yoga at Ligmincha Texas Institute for the Tibetan Meditative and Healing Arts. He is also an advisor for the Rothko Chapel.
The event is a continuation of Rothko Chapel’s educational meditation series, “Twelve Moments: Experiencing Spiritual and Faith Traditions,” designed to help guests experience spiritual practices to quiet, center, expand and renew their minds. 
The Chapel is located at 3900 Yupon St.
