This event has moved to Orchard Trail from its original location. In case of rain, this event will meet in the Bellows & Cassatt rooms.

Connect with nature and transform your stress into mindfulness with an outdoor session of guided meditation on the museum grounds.

Join guest instructor and Forest Therapy Guide Emmie Brenzel as we enjoy the beginning of spring and learn about breathing techniques, relaxation practices, and sensory invitations, which can discipline a busy mind and calm a restless body. You’ll get step-by-step guidance to help you find mental, physical, and emotional wellness as we reflect on nature and enjoy time by the Fly’s Eye Dome on Orchard Trail.

Whether you’re an experienced serenity-seeker or just curious about finding a little more balance, this program is beginner-friendly and open to meditators of all experience levels. A short walk along a paved path may be required. We encourage you to dress for the weather, preferably with layers, keeping in mind that temperatures will be cooler when stationary or resting on the ground.

Tickets are $8 ($5 for members), reserve your spot online or with Guest Services at (479) 657-2335 today.
