Mindfulness Series: Fostering Connection Through Canadian Art
Slow Down…The more you look the more you see…
How do we connect to our own surroundings, culture, and nature through the eyes of the artist? Does any idea or memory come to mind? Join us and experience art differently, and discover the joy of looking at and loving art. This session will introduce the principles of mindfulness; engage in body awareness exercises and mindfulness practice followed by examining one work of art for an extended period. In most meditations we close our eyes but in this case we'll keep them open. We hope that by taking part in mindful viewing you will gain a different perspective of the artwork.
