Mindfulness at the Museum is a series of drop-in guided meditation sessions facilitated by skilled holistic practitioners. Shesheena creates an intentional space for personal reflection, providing participants with multiple entry points to engage with mindfulness in its various forms. 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. All levels of experience are invited to attend, simply bring your breath.

Bio

Shesheena A. Bray moved to Philadelphia in 2003 to attend Temple University, where she completed her undergraduate degree in African American Studies and Political Science. In 2014, Shesheena realized her service to Black and Brown communities was best actualized through her passion, mental and emotional wellness. Honing her focus and training, she earned a M.S.Ed in mental health counseling from the University of Pennsylvania. Upon completion, Shesheena started Going Inward Wellness, LLC. In addition to seeing clients one-on-one for therapy, Shesheena also leads psycho-educational groups, and teaches mindfulness in Philadelphia public schools.

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