Mindfulness at the Museum with Hariprasad Kowtha

Mindfulness

In this session we will focus on connecting our internal and external beings, using mindfulness as a bridge between our emotions, thoughts, and those physical manifestations that exist outside the body. Karyn Olivier's use of scale within her sculptures provides the ideal backdrop to frame the experience, as we contemplate how much space we allocate to the functions that govern us internally and externally.
