Guests will be asked to utilize the fives senses to engage within the space and reflect on their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations that evolve from shared experiences. Join us the following Sunday on 8/19 from 2-3 pm for a program hosted in coordination with Silvia's exhibition: Body Scan Meditation with Amy Zoe Schonhoff.

Amy Zoe Schonhoff, MSBR Instructor and Trainer will guide participants through a body scan meditation to connect and bring focused attention to the body. This meditation aims to build awareness among the bodily-sensations through real-time experiences. Amy Zoe Schonhoff is the creator of Mindfulness in the Heartland, a professional venture dedicated to providing education and training in mindfulness-based interventions. Through her writing, public speaking and teaching, it is her intention to inspire others to live as if every moment matters. For more information, please visit www.mindfulheartland.com
