Thinking today about the prospect of a return to in-person teaching in gallery spaces, balanced with continued engagement on Zoom. An opportunity to reflect on the positives of virtual sessions and all we have learned over the past year. 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!

Sense the space between your body and the image in front of you.

The space above you, and to each side.

Simply sitting here, aware of the relationship between your body and the space of the room around you.

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.
