You are invited to this weekly hybrid workshop to learn about a work of art and then participate in a related mindfulness practice. You are welcome to join us in the museum galleries in person or virtually via Zoom. This powerful guided meditation can undo stress, soothe the nervous system and help you feel relaxed and revitalized. If practiced regularly, the meditation teaches a method for feeling calm, easeful and resilient, even when facing life’s challenges. Meditations are open to students, faculty, staff and the public. All are welcome and there is no need for past experience with meditation. Registration is required if attending virtually. All sessions begin promptly at 12:15 p.m. Please arrive a few minutes early if attending in person - doors to the meditation close at 12:15 p.m.
Who's playing
The museum presents the series with the Contemplative Arts, Learning and Meditation (CALM) Center and the CU Division of Student Life. It is part of the museum's public programming on the University of Colorado Boulder campus. Sessions are open to students, faculty, staff and the general public.
What to expect
A short talk on a piece of art comes first, then a guided meditation tied to it. The whole session runs about half an hour. Counseling services suggest bringing a yoga mat or small cushion for comfort. The series runs during the fall and spring semesters, and virtual attendees register ahead for Zoom.
Why go
It is a quiet break in the middle of the workday, held among the art. The practice aims to ease stress and build a sense of calm that carries over if you return regularly. Because the group is open to everyone, students and neighbors sit side by side.
