SUMMARY:Mindful Living
DESCRIPTION:Slow down and take a moment to pause\, reflect\, and respond through art. \nInspired by The Age of Anxiety: German Expressionism in Art and Film\, this series combines mindfulness practices\, gallery tours\, and guided discussion to explore how people respond to periods of change and uncertainty. \nLed in collaboration with specialists from the UAMS Mindfulness Program\, each session focuses on listening and expression while discovering how art can create space for dialogue\, awareness\, and reflection. \nIn this session\, participants will use an artwork from the exhibition as a point of grounding to practice appreciative listening\, share moments of joy\, and create short word-based poems or phrases that acknowledge both struggle and possibility. \n\nMindful Living is supported in part by Art Bridges. \n \nThe Age of Anxiety: German Expressionism in Art and Film is in cooperation with the Institute for Cultural Exchange and the Friedrich-Wilhelm Murnau Foundation. \n     \nThis exhibition is generously presented by Anne and Merritt Dyke. \nImage courtesy of Jason Masters.
