The Art of Seeing
About this Event
Would you like to explore the connection between art, mindfulness and wellbeing?
Join us for a gentle and inspiring morning at the Serpentine Galleries, where Jolanda Crettaz Chandler, an art curator and leader of art and cultural experinces, and Louloua Aita, a visual artist and mindfulness teacher come together to explore selected works by internationally celebrated artists David Hockney and Cecily Brown through art, conversation and mindfulness.
Research increasingly highlights the positive impact that engagement with the arts can have on wellbeing and human connection.
Through slowing down and pausing with the art, we will mindfully practise moving from simply looking to truly seeing, shifting from thinking about a painting to directly experiencing it, while cultivating attention, awareness and presence.
Leave feeling nourished, inspired and more connected to yourself and the world around you.
As a thank you for joining us, participants will receive an exclusive 10% discount towards a future London art tour with Jolanda or a mindfulness course with Louloua.

• An introduction to the creative journeys of David Hockney and Cecily Brown
