About
Join Karly Allen to pause and reflect in this online mindfulness session. Karly will be your guide as we explore attention and focus by closely looking at landscapes.
What clarity can we find in a painting’s small details? The textures? The sensations of colour and light? Observe your own experiences and explore how you connect with art. Through Meindert Hobbema’s ‘The Avenue at Middelharnis’ and Camille Pissarro’s ‘Late Afternoon in our Meadow’, Karly Allen will take us through how paintings draw our eye – and how we can experiment with how we look at art.
This event is suitable for all. No previous experience of mindfulness is needed. We invite you to find a quiet space and to get comfortable for this restorative, mid-week breath of spring air.
