Meditation Circuit is inspired in part by the City Meditation Crew project, Many Colors of Green, in fall 2017 at Hamlin Park in which community members walked meditatively and contemplated their park using their cell phones as tools for attentiveness.
Artist Anne Beffel is presenting Meditation Circuit with the performance art group City Meditation Crew (CMC), Shoreline Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services' David Francis, the Shoreline Walks Program, and with support of Michigan Technological University and the King County 4Culture arts commission. The project was generously supported by Michigan Technological University. City Meditation Crew has been offering the public opportunities to experience innovative meditations in cities from New York to Seattle since 2009.
