Look Again: A Meditative Museum Experience is a ROM Conversations program that takes place on three different dates in April and will visit a different gallery each time. Through a guided sequence of meditative practices, you’ll be prompted to reconnect with your senses and experience the objects on display in new ways. The program introduces techniques such as deep looking, body scanning, sensory foraging, and reflective riddles, exposing the variety of practices nestled within meditation—a museum in its own right.
The experience further weaves together moments of shared reflection following each activity, fostering community and connection. At the end of the session, you may choose to join a larger group discussion to exchange insights and experiences or return quietly to the gallery locations to sit with your thoughts and continue your visit until the Museum closes. Participants often uncover unexpected perspectives through these practices, leaving with practical meditative tools they can carry forward into their everyday lives.
This program will take place on three separate times in April (each one requires a separate registration and you can sign for more than one if you’d like; you can find the list of topics below). Please go to the Conversations page and find the different program webpages at the bottom of the page.
