DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, TODAY’S ONLINE SESSION OF MINDFULNESS AT THE MUSEUM HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Mindfulness at the Museum is a series of guided meditation sessions facilitated by skilled holistic practitioners designed to teach participants how to become in tune with the present. Mindfulness meditation can help reduce stress, foster compassion, and improve memory. Each encounter is unique from the last, drawing synthesis between the mind and body, leaving participants equipped with knowledge on how to lead a balanced life. In light of the global pandemic, sessions will take place online to continue to provide a space for reflection and an opportunity for collective exchanges.

Participation is free and open to all. Prior meditation experience and special clothing is not required.
