Looking for a unique way to meditate or simply take some time for yourself? Mindful Mondays might just be the place for you. On the first, second, and third Mondays of the month, we offer events that focus on mindfulness, surrounded by the beauty of art and nature: Yoga and Art, Meditation and Mindfulness, and Sunset Tai Chi. Learn more about these programs here, and make a plan to attend the next event!

As a safety precaution and to comply with CDC recommendations, Crystal Bridges and the Momentary require face coverings at outdoor programs and events, as well as at food and drink venues, except when eating and drinking. Face coverings with exhaust valves or vents are not allowed. Masks will be provided for those who don’t have one.
