Coming to our senses: using headphones to follow a live guided mindfulness practice allows for a contemplative space within the busy museum.
.
Limina was lucky enough to work with these inspiring students from the Institute of Education to explore experiential learning and the intersection of art and mindful meditation.

Thank you @stonesalexis for the invitation to collaborate and for this image.

A drawing that’s made together, stays together (unless you take two pairs of scissors and meet half way).
.
After a weekend of meditation and slow looking practices at the British Library, these collaborative drawings became individual scrolls on which to set an intention.
.
Thank you @britishlibrary for inviting all three members of Limina to engage with the Buddhism exhibition over a full weekend. We loved every minute. .

How does mindful meditation support our creativity and drawing practice? Thank you @elainekingett for sharing this image of her drawings from our workshop ‘Buddhism: Art & Mindfulness’ at the British Library today. What a pleasure to accompany learners on a weekend of slow looking, reflection and play.

#drawingbreath: brush and water on paper.

Limina’s workshop for families @britishlibrary explored themes from the new #Buddhism exhibition. “What will happen to our drawings after we make them?” “They will fade - just like our breath!” Thank you to all the families who joined Lucia and Karly for mindful drawing, mandala printing, mindfulness of sounds, mindful walking and short guided sessions of mindful movement and meditation.
Limina has enjoyed working with British Library curators and Learning staff to bring mindfulness approaches to learning events for #Buddhism: an exhibition trail for families, ‘Take a Breath’ family workshop, and ‘Art and Mindfulness’ adult workshop (30 Nov-1 Dec, see link in bio for info and tickets). .

Our new exhibition trail for #Buddhism @britishlibrary includes the invitation to post your images using #blbuddhafootsteps

Join us! ‘Taking a photograph is like a mini meditation: it can help us notice what’s around us in this moment, and to choose what to focus on.
Plant your feet firmly on the ground and take a picture.

It could be in the exhibition, outside, or somewhere you feel is special, peaceful or full of colour.
Share your photograph (or other artwork) using #blbuddhafootsteps’

Coming up on Tuesday 22 Oct, 6:30pm: Last remaining tickets for our #mindfulspaces event in the extraordinary Art Deco interior of RIBA headquarters, Portland Place W1. Round off your working day with nourishing #mindfulness practice and an exploration of the mind space in relation to the #architecture around us.
Book £5 tickets via @ribalondon - follow link in bio to our events page. Led by Lucia.

RIBA event text: ‘Continuing our RIBA Festival of Learning theme of Designing Happiness into the early evening, take part in an experiential workshop exploring awareness of the spaces around us, of the mind space and the interaction between the two. Bringing mindfulness to those spaces can support and enhance a sense of wellbeing. We will also go into building and dissolving structures in the mind space and look at internalised spaces and the nature of mind.

This workshop features presentation, guided exercises and discussion. Led by mindfulness teacher Lucia van der Drift from Limina Collective. For ages 18+ and all abilities.’ @yb_lucia #mindspace #contemplativearchitecture #healthybuildings #liveinthemoment #architecturematters #mindfulmeditation #meditation #bemindful #experientiallearning #designinghappiness @andrewnelson79
