Expressive Movement Flow with Sarit Sela
This series of guided meditations is inspired by art in the Harn collections and led by expert facilitators with years of experience. Take a break from your regular schedule to slow down, experience stillness, and re-charge. Forty-five minutes of guided meditation is followed by an art spotlight tour.
This session will blend the joyful, expressive movement of Nia with the slow, meditative flow of SloMo. Through grounding breathwork, fluid movement, and heightened attention to our senses and body, this session promotes balance, inner peace, and a deeper connection to both our bodies and the surrounding art. Open to all levels, no prior experience necessary. Whether you're new to movement or a seasoned practitioner, this session is designed to leave you feeling centered, refreshed, and uplifted. Wear comfortable clothing and feel free to participate with or without shoes.
Facilitator: Sarit Sela is a seasoned movement educator with 15 years of experience teaching Nia and, more recently, SloMo and creativity/art workshops. As the founder of Nia Gainesville and creator of SloMo: Slow Flow & Meditation, Sarit blends creativity, curiosity, mindfulness, and expression to guide participants toward greater body awareness and well-being.
