          CREATIVE CONTEMPLATION

          November 30, 2022, 1:30–2:30pm

          Free + in-person program + art materials provided

Grounded in ideas of rest and connection, Erin Burns leads us through an hour of creative contemplation: grounding, listening, connecting and reflecting with the exhibit and our own creative spirits. In our busy lives, making time for creativity, connection and contemplation can seem impossible. As we near exam season, we set aside this time for some spiritual practice that pulls us out of the rush of everyday life and gives us time and space for rest.
