We’ve enjoyed following Oliver Burkeman’s inve

We’ve enjoyed following Oliver Burkeman’s investigations into the human experience of finitude and presence: including his experiment with spending 3 hours simply looking at one painting by Degas. Following the guidance of @jenniferrrrrroberts at Harvard University, Burkeman writes about his experience of prolonged slow looking in a gallery, the emergence of patience, and the unfolding of ‘the scene in all its sensory fullness’.
.
‘Your reward… is to achieve, at last, a real sense of purchase on reality - of really *getting stuck in* to life.’
.
How can mindfulness techniques support this practice of deep looking at art? Join our mailing list to follow our work and we hope to see you at an event soon.

Preparing for ‘Sketchbook Saturday: Mindful Paus

Preparing for ‘Sketchbook Saturday: Mindful Pauses’, an online event for the National Gallery this Saturday 🍓
.
“Take a mindful approach to looking and drawing, in this session led by Karly Allen. Starting with a short mindfulness practice, you’ll be guided to notice the gaps in between shapes in paintings, where we experience a visual pause. Making drawings to explore and expand these spaces, we’ll take mindful pauses to encourage a greater sense of ease and connection as we draw.”

📣🎧 [sound on!] We’re excited to announce our first in-gallery mindful audios to be available in Manchester Art Gallery’s ‘Room to Breathe’ exhibition - opening this Saturday 2 April. Visitors will be invited to listen to our 5-minute recordings by scanning a QR code in front of the paintings. Both recordings are also available on their website - see our bio for link.

Heartfelt thanks to @mindful_museums for commissioning these audios, giving us the opportunity to contribute to this beautifully selected and staged exhibition, one in a series at MAG with mindfulness principles threaded through every aspect of the exhibition.

Coming up: tomorrow, Tuesday 29 March, 6pm (UK time) - we’ll be using mindfulness approaches to look closely at a painting by Corot and drawing on paper as we look. We’d love you to join us.

To mark the changing of the clocks in the UK this week, our theme is ‘time’: we’ll be tuning into the rhythm and pace of our drawing, and moving through the four times of day suggested by Corot’s painting.
.
Tickets are £10 for this hour-long session delivered on Zoom. Facilitated by Limina’s @karlykallen. All welcome, no experience of drawing or mindfulness needed. Booking details in bio.
