Art & Mindfulness
29 Jul | A meditation guided art experience inspired by Cooper & Gorfer
Overview
Discover art as a mirror for your own inner world.
This immersive mindfulness session is not just a guided tour but a practice in seeing, sensing, and understanding our inner resonance with the artworks more deeply. At the same time, it serves as a powerful introduction to mindfulness as an everyday tool.
Inspired by the emotionally charged works of Cooper & Gorfer’s Hysteria, we explore this time how stories of identity, memory, and transformation come alive – both in the images and within ourselves. Through focused mindfulness techniques, you learn how to slow down, observe with clarity, and connect with the layers beneath the visual surface.
