Mindful Spaces: A Creative Journey through ROM Architecture offers a different entry point into mindfulness by focusing on how architectural environments shape our inner experience.
The architecture of the Museum is exquisite. It spans Neo-Romanesque, Neo- Byzantine, Art Deco, Modernist and Deconstructivist styles, with some spaces combining multiple designs.
On this mindfulness journey, participants will be led through four unique architectural locations in the Museum that spark a sense of awe, curiosity, and beauty. Participants will be creatively guided on how to connect to their senses in each location, and then to their own personal inner world. Leaning into carefully selected themes, and allowing personal associations and meaningful memories to emerge, participants will explore how architecture, their senses, and their own creativity can nourish a mindfulness awareness, allow for grounding, and inspire self-discovery.
The program will culminate with participants being led through a creative visualization to find their own inner sanctuary, and time to share their reflections or create an art piece to take home and remember the experience.
This program will be offered three times in April.
