Getty’s first video podcast encourages you to engage with works of art mindfully, wherever you are. Part art history, part mindfulness meditation, each episode focuses on one work of art and uses it as an inspiration for meditation and reflection. Learn about Edvard Munch’s time on Norway’s coast then imagine the blue light of his Starry Night traveling through your body, releasing tension as it goes. Or take inspiration from Van Gogh’s Irises to bring new awareness to your senses. Long-time museum educator and meditation practitioner Lilit Sadoyan translates her work leading mindfulness meditation tours at the Getty Museum into a podcast that fits into your daily routine. Can’t get enough? Between episodes, catch Lilit’s interviews with fascinating guests like a planetary climate scientist, a sleep historian, a mountain climber, and an art conservator. Conducted as part of the research process, these casual conversations provide new insights into the week’s artwork and meditation theme.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-24T02:17:19.769967+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ommm-our-museum-mindfulness-meditation-7867495"},"episode":{"title":"Mountain Meditation Inspired by Italy","slug":"mountain-meditation-inspired-by-italy","published_at":"2026-07-07T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ommm-our-museum-mindfulness-meditation-7867495/mountain-meditation-inspired-by-italy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ommm-our-museum-mindfulness-meditation-7867495","url":"https://podcast.show/3958092/episode/154171832/","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.blubrry.com/3958092/ins.blubrry.com/3958092/OMMM-104_Audio_Only.mp3","summary":"Feel still and majestic like a mountain in a meditation inspired by Jean-Joseph-Xavier Bidauld’s painting View of the Bridge and Part of the Town of Cava, Kingdom of Naples (1785–90). A picturesque, verdant scene captures the quiet majesty and peacefulness of the rolling mountains of Southern Italy. Bidauld was drawn to Italy’s landscape, spending years traveling across the country to paint. He returned to this particular vista in Naples to capture it from many angles and at different times of day. Small in scale, Bidauld likely started this piece as a sketch, painting en plein air or in the outdoors, directly experiencing the grandeur of the mountain. In a mountain meditation inspired by Bidauld and mindfulness expert Jon Kabat-Zinn, channel the majesty and strength of the mountain in order to find inner strength and stillness. Learn about the other paintings of this scene held by the Fitzwilliam Museum (https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/135439) and The Morgan Library & Museum (https://www.themorgan.org/objects/item/270201).
