11:00am-12:30pm

Join us for an exploration of the gifts of mindfulness. All you need is an object of attention and guess what! That can be literally anything… your breath, your fingers, your whole body, a word, your cat, street sounds. This time we choose an object from the gallery and together we will shed light to the wisdom and clarity our own bodies hold in a safe space of authenticity and openness. There will be stillness. There will be dancing. There will be co-creation. EveryBody is welcome.
