Mindfulness and Craft with Lauren Braun

January 13 @ 9:00 am - February 3 @ 10:30 am

  • « Metals 2 Series with Stacy Rodgers
  • Crafts & Drafts: Handmade Paper with Hops with Katy Dement »
Join artist and mindfulness facilitator Lauren Braun in practicing meditation in the Gallery with our exhibition, Transformation.

4-Part Workshop

Dates: Fridays, January 13-February 3, 2023

Time: 9am-10:30am

Description: Join artist and mindfulness facilitator Lauren Braun in practicing meditation. Each week we will focus on a different mindfulness theme. The hour and a half long session will include instruction, guided meditation, voluntary discussion and time for reflection. When possible, we will look at the artwork on exhibit at Contemporary Craft as part of our mindfulness practice.

A few of the many benefits of meditation include: improved mental focus, stress reduction, anxiety relief, improved self-awareness, building skills of compassion and empathy for self and others, increased access to imagination and intuition, and learning to focus on the present moment. All are welcome. No prior experience is necessary.

Tuition: $75

Location: Contemporary Craft (5645 Butler St., Pittsburgh, PA 15201)
