The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco invite members at all levels to
Midday Meditation from the Pool of Enchantment
Thursday, March 11, noon \ Zoom Webinar
Join us for a midday break with mindfulness meditation through Resonance, an immersive experience that focuses on listening, seeing, and feeling with real-time awareness. Inspired by works from our permanent collection and filmed on-site at the de Young’s Pool of Enchantment, Resonance virtually transports you back to the museum and helps you practice self-care. The meditation session, which incorporates musical elements, will be led by neuroscientist Nkechi Deanna Njaka and multi-instrumentalist Tauwoo.
Please note this event will be run via Zoom, a video platform available free of charge. We recommend downloading Zoom to your computer or mobile device prior to the event to avoid any technical difficulties.
If you are unable to attend the live viewing, a recording will be shared on our YouTube for two weeks following the event.
