Mindful Art and Movement: What Is Real with Sarit

Sat 17 Jun, 10 am-1 pm. "Life lies in the space between the real and the imagined." As life continuously unfolds in unexpected ways, one may wonder about the meaning and boundaries of the "real" in the world, the role of the imagined, perceived, and other states of consciousness, in their reality. We will explore these concepts via discussion, simple movement and drawing exercises, and journaling. No need for special experience or talent in movement or art, just a curious mind and an open heart. Snacks included. Led by Sarit Ben-David Sela, architect and urban thinker, visual artist, and a Nia Movement First Degree Black Belt instructor.
