Mindful Art and Movement: What Is Real with Sarit

Sat 17 Jun 2023, 10 am-1 pm. "Life lies in the space between the real and the imagined."

We will explore these concepts via discussion, simple movement and drawing exercises, and journaling. No need for special experience or talent in movement or art, just a curious mind and an open heart. Snacks included. Led by Sarit Ben-David Sela, architect and urban thinker, visual artist, and a Nia Movement First Degree Black Belt instructor. Workshop offered on two alternative dates: Saturday, June 17, 10 AM - 1 PM Saturday, June 24, 3 PM - 6 PM Investment: Early bird (by June 7): $80 Full fee (June 7 or later): $95 Sliding scale available.

Mindful Art and Movement: What Is Real with Sarit

Sat 24 Jun 2023, 3-6 pm. "Life lies in the space between the real and the imagined."

No need for special experience or talent in movement or art, just a curious mind and an open heart. Snacks included. Led by Sarit Ben-David Sela, architect and urban thinker, visual artist, and a Nia Movement First Degree Black Belt instructor.
