Guided Meditation Evenings with Tarika Lovegarden: Loving-Kindness Meditation Location: Healing Arts Center & Spa Time: 6:30 – 7:30pm Experience the transformative power of loving-kindness, a heart-based meditation known as Metta. This timeless practice nurtures warmth, connection, and goodwill toward yourself, loved ones, those you find difficult, and all beings. Guided by Tarika, you’ll be led through simple phrases and visualizations that help you soften self-judgment, dissolve lingering resentments, and open to a deeper sense of connection. As you learn to access the natural kindness of your heart, you may find that relationships feel more spacious, communication softens, and your inner world becomes more peaceful. Loving-kindness supports nervous-system regulation by shifting you out of defensive states and into tenderness, safety, and care. With regular practice, it becomes easier to respond with compassion—both to yourself and others—even in challenging situations. This evening is ideal for anyone longing for more warmth, forgiveness, and open-hearted connection in daily life.

Enjoy Haydn and Mozart’s piano works performed as they intended them to be heard — on a Viennese fortepiano. Fortepianist Daniel Adam Maltz and soprano Jennifer Ellis Kampani present an evening of Classical-era music performed on an original Viennese fortepiano. This intimate concert offers audiences the rare chance to hear Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven as they intended them to be heard. During the Classical era in Vienna, composers expected their keyboard music to entertain relatively small audiences in smaller-scale spaces than today’s large concert halls. And, the era’s pianos (known as “fortepianos”) are very different from modern Steinways. Vienna-based fortepianist Daniel Adam Maltz specializes in historically informed performance. Called “the foremost performer in the world of the fortepiano” (Aspen Daily News), he has been praised for imbuing “[Beethoven’s] tenderness, longing, and frustration into the very notes” (Orlando Sentinel), for “lavish but tasteful” playing (Classical Sonoma), and as “a privilege to hear” (Marblehead Current). He studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, and performs exclusively on historic Viennese fortepianos. GRAMMY-nominated soprano Jennifer Ellis Kampani is known for her expressive interpretations of early repertoire. She has appeared at Carnegie Hall and performed with leading ensembles including American Bach Soloists, Apollo’s Fire, Opera Lafayette, and Portland Baroque Orchestra. She lives in Los Angeles and teaches at USC. Learn More Tickets
