Mindfulness at the Museum

Join us virtually on Sunday, February 28, from 11-12:00 pm ET for a mindful observation experience focused on finding ground within unpredictability. Led by India Clark, founder of the Wayfinder Institute, this deep seeing experience uses artworks, the body, and breath to help you unwind and relax into the present moment with the amplified impact of group meditation. No prior experience is necessary. Come away with tools for stress relief, new awareness, and a deepened sense of community.

This event is co-sponsored by the Addison Gallery of American Art and the Tang Institute.
