Art and Meditation at The Dalí

April 12, 2023 at 12:00pm - 1:00pm

Join us to journey inward through art and meditation at The Dalí. Our monthly meditation practice is based on the idea of looking at examples of art to achieve a dynamic stillness of the mind. Each session will examine an artwork from a current exhibition to make us think, refocus, slow down, and go deeper into our minds to permit body connection and awareness.
