Meditation on Tidepool Plaza

Facilitated by Dr. Aditi Chawla

Designated by the United Nations, World Meditation Day honors meditation as a powerful tool for mental well-being and inner peace. Join us for a guided 30-minute sunset meditation on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025, from 4 to 4:30 p.m. on Preuss Tide Pool Plaza, to celebrate World Meditation Day in conjunction with Birch Aquarium’s recently opened exhibition Meditation Ocean: Aquarius Reef Base. During the session, you’ll be gently guided to bring awareness to your surroundings, your body, thoughts, and feelings, gradually arriving at a place of calm and balance.
