What is Meditation Circuit?
|
Meditation Circuit was a temporary public art work comprised of a series of meditation stations along a pathway marked by ten foot tall hand painted banners.
Each station offered a mindfulness oriented activity intended to support well-being. Park visitors explored: listening; walking; even using cell phones as tools for meditating on colors in an urban forest. Meditation Circuits are intended to demonstrate the power of meditation and the value of public art. |
