Mindfulness Practices from The Lowe Art Museum

As a member of Beaux Arts, I have long been involved with the organization and its support of the Lowe Art Museum. Did you know that in 2014, Beaux Arts donated $1.5 million to the University of Miami for the Beaux Arts’ Director’s Endowment Fund? This blog is not about that, but I had to brag on one of my favorite organizations because – wow, that is impressive!

Back to the matter at hand! I was doing some research about permits on CoralGables.com and I happened upon a news update about the Lowe Art Museum, which is now offering mindfulness practices. Here is the description from the website:

Thanks to a 20-year Development Agreement between the City of Coral Gables and the University of Miami, the Lowe Art Museum is offering two mindfulness practices that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. Mindful Looking, offered three times a month, invites participants to focus attention in different ways on a work of art from the Lowe’s collection. Slow down, be present, and spend time with one work of art from the Lowe's collection while enjoying a guided mindful looking exercise led by the Lowe Art Museum Education staff. Mindful Sitting, offered the first Tuesday of the month, features a traditional guided mindfulness sitting practice. The Lowe’s Art of Mindfulness sessions will take place on Tuesdays at 1:00 pm. The session will last about 40 minutes (30 minute guided practice with 10-minute reflection and Q&A). In order to receive a weekly (Mondays) registration link to these free Zoom sessions, sign up for the Mindfulness Email List here.
