About this Event
Mindfulness & Meditation
This course dives into the meaning of the word "Zen" and how the Eastern practice became synonomous with peace.
Examining how those concepts that apply to our communities on the South Side of Chicago, we ask– "What does it look like to practice meditation and stillness in real life, and how can that skill transform the way we handle difficulty?"
(Re)discover for yourself the subtle wonders of mindfulness & meditation as we create sand trays, incense holders, and more.
What To Expect
Wondering what your experience might be like?
Our studio has a full suite of pottery wheels, handbuilding materials, and glazes. We have spaces available for projects not yet completed, and an electric kiln for firing. We work with standard stoneware and porcelain claybodies.
The space is wheelchair accessible, and we offer inclusive bench seating for those who may need it.
Work aprons are also available, but we do encourage you to refrain from wearing any clothing or jewelry you cannot easily clean.

About The Beloved Community Ceramic Studio
A deeply impactful and trailblazing institution in the history of nonprofits in America, The Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) has undoubtedly shaped culture and made significant change in households, on blocks, across the city and the nation.
