Art Meditation: Lucid Dreaming

Experience altered states of consciousness where dreaming intersects with awake awareness. Lucid dreaming and meditation have much in common as an open aware state of allowing experience to creatively unfold.

Ticket includes entry to following the session, from 10.00am.

A valid Art Meditation event ticket is required for this event. Note: Complimentary ‘Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses’ exhibition tickets or QAGOMA Members free ticket vouchers cannot be redeemed for this event.
