Through guided movement, creative exploration, reflection, and shared conversation, we’ll create space for clarity, intention, and embodied insight.
You do not need any prior experience with movement or art, just curiosity and a willingness to show up as you are.
What we will explore:

* Creative exercises to access intuition and imagination
* Guided reflection and journaling

Sat 31 Jan 2026, 10-11 am. Three Centers Sound Meditation with Kim Holton.
This series of guided meditations is inspired by art in the Harn collections and led by expert facilitators with years of experience. Take a break from your regular schedule to slow down, experience stillness, and re-charge. Forty-five minutes of guided meditation is followed by an art spotlight tour.
This session will blend the joyful, expressive movement of Nia with the slow, meditative flow of SloMo. Through grounding breathwork, fluid movement, and heightened attention to our senses and body, this session promotes balance, inner peace, and a deeper connection to both our bodies and the surrounding art. Open to all levels, no prior experience necessary. Whether you're new to movement or a seasoned practitioner, this session is designed to leave you feeling centered, refreshed, and uplifted. Wear comfortable clothing and feel free to participate with or without shoes.
