Join traveling monk Brian Lottman for a transformative evening of spiritual awakening and deep inner peace. Through mystical mantra, sacred breath, and guided meditation, Brian leads participants in practices that awaken the chakras, repair the aura, and rejuvenate the spirit. His gatherings, known as satsangs, weave together storytelling, sweet harmonium music, and moments of silence to open the heart and quiet the mind.

Having led hundreds of spiritual gatherings across the U.S. and Canada, Brian shares timeless wisdom and the living presence of divine love in a way that feels both profound and accessible. This immersive experience offers a space to reconnect with your essential nature, experience the healing flow of divine energy, and explore higher states of consciousness in a supportive and uplifting atmosphere.

Siji Krishnan’s paintings invite viewers into a world where memory, myth, and daily life intertwine. Working primarily on delicate rice paper, she builds up translucent layers of watercolor and oil to reveal figures, landscapes, and hidden details. Her images often feel dreamlike—ponds shimmering with light, grasses bending in the rain, or figures dissolving into their surroundings—suggesting the ways that identity, home, and belonging are shaped by both what we see and what lies beneath the surface.

The exhibition The Secret Place brings together recent works from Krishnan’s Los Angeles debut, alongside five new large paintings created in her studio in Kerala, India. In these new works, Krishnan replaces her more figurative elements with water, plants, and sky. The natural world of her home—backwaters, monsoon rains, and village ponds—becomes a central motif, a site of both refuge and transformation. Themes of fertility and motherhood, community, and renewal flow through her practice, informed by her experiences of raising a child and the shifting boundaries between self and environment.

Krishnan’s art asks us to look slowly and closely. Small details emerge—an animal, a flower petal, a shadow of a figure—like secrets discovered over time. Both intimate and expansive, her paintings transcend cultural and geographic boundaries, embodying the Upanishadic (ancient Indian sacred philosophical texts) philosophy vasudhaiva kutumbakam: “the world is one family.”

Exhibition runs from October 11 to February 22.
