Harmony Within: an Artful Meditation

  • Artful Framer Studios 2938 North Clark Street Chicago United States (map)

Start your Sunday off with a beautiful and calm journey towards harmony within. In this session, we will be exploring the theme of ‘Color Breathing’.

Prepare to sit and/or lay down, as we contemplate what it means to "breathe color". The session will begin with a light and low-pressure guided instruction by Hope Dye where we will experiment with gouache paint and meditative art-making methods. We will follow up with a guided sound meditation facilitated by Jill Stein to further use color as a meditation tool. 

Come dressed comfortably and hydrated and bring a blanket/towel, yoga mat and waterbottle.
