Join meditation and yoga practitioner, LaToya Kent, for two different guided meditative practices.
About this Event

LaToya Kent will begin by facilitating a seated meditation, creating a space for relaxation and contemplation. This meditation will then transition into yoga nidra, often referred to as the conscious sleep, a restorative practice experienced lying down.

This program is in conjunction with , which was developed by Amber N. Ford during her time as moCa's Artist-in-Residence. While in residence, Ford gathered audience responses about their experiences of loss and trauma. The resulting sound and text-based work encourages more intentional mind-body connections, aligning with Kent's practice.

Stools will be provided for this program. Participants are invited to bring a yoga mat, towel, blanket, or pillow to use during yoga nidra.

If you are in need of a mat or comfort item to participate in yoga nidra, have questions about the program, or if there are access services or accommodations that can make your experience more inclusive, please contact [email protected]. 1-2 week’s advance notice is recommended but not required.
