Grateful for the creativity and commitment of our team and participants and looking forward to developing our blended offer over the coming months. We hope to see you at an event soon!

Rothko described his painting as the “elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea, between the idea and the observer.” Bringing mindfulness practices to the experience of looking at art can help us work with the traffic of thoughts and ideas, to remove obstacles and get closer to our direct, personal responses.
