Sparking Your Inner Big Bang: A Meditation Circle for New Beginnings
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Re-encounter your inner light within a circle of meditation and movement that invites you to connect with new beginnings, contemplate our role in repairing the world, and imagine the significance of light in the beginnings of the universe. Led by Dr. Butterfly Williams, this meditation will take place in the gallery in conjunction with "First Light: Rituals of Glass and Neon Art." Surrounded by light-based artworks that inspire deeper contemplation of the cosmos and our place in the universe, we will reflect on creation stories, nourish our own individual "first light," and more.
