Dharma Rhythms: A Special Evening of Live Music and Mindfulness

This special in-person and online benefit event brings together master musicians for an evening that invites deep listening and present moment:

• Marty Jaffe and his genre-bending trio (Evan Harris on saxophone, Paul Bloom on keys)
• John Ferrara, known for his powerful and emotional solo bass performances
• Jason Smith, who creates layered soundscapes that blend music with storytelling and multimedia

Each artist brings a distinct voice and approach, spanning jazz, classical, experimental, and global traditions. What connects them is a shared commitment to presence, listening, and the creative process — values that lie at the heart of both music and mindfulness practice.

After the music, stick around for a lively discussion led by musician and Samaritans NYC Director Josh Wexler, exploring how music and mindfulness weave together through discipline, improvisation, and meaning-making.

All proceeds from the evening support New York Insight’s Community Programs, which make our teachings more accessible to all. Your ticket includes a chance to win raffle prizes like meditation courses, original artwork, and more.

Bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and join us for an evening of music as mindfulness, conversation with inspiring artists, and support for programming that helps so many.
