Art Meditation Practice

Art Meditation Practice

June 23, 10:00 - 11:00am

Facilitator: Lilis K'Dair

Participants will be guided through a meditative practice that incorporates simple, repetitive art activities meant to facilitate centering, mindfulness, and letting go. We will use materials that are relatively inexpensive or can be found around the house so that participants can use what they have learned to continue practicing art meditation at home on their own. This series of events is intended to:

• develop a meditation community at Arts Lab that meets regularly and in-person
• showcase art as a tool that can help us slow down and tune into our body and senses as we touch, hold, and manipulate materials
• give us space to get curious about things bigger than ourselves, explore universal truths of the human experience, and embrace the unknown

Ages 14+
