Mindful Museum: Virtual Slow-Art Appreciation

Slow art is a growing movement to mindfully observe and communally appreciate art. This hour-long virtual program guides you through centering techniques and a breathing practice followed by an intentional observation of Sir William Pepperrell (1746–1816) and His Family by John Singleton Copley. Sharing and discussion are encouraged. This is a great practice to calm the mind and experience art in a deeper way. For ages 16 and up.
