My OMEI: Observe, Meditate, Experience, Internalize
Sunday, January 18, 2015 · 3 to 4 pm
Offered on the first and third Sundays of the month, this innovative program was developed to cultivate the art of looking closely and feeling deeply through meditation and focused reflection upon a few pieces of art at a time. Visit the galleries twice per month to bring the focus back onto yourself and connect with others through the art. A great way to relax and recharge!
