Breathe: An Artist-led Meditation Series

Virtual

Anaïs Duplan smiles against a backdrop of trees. He has medium brown skin; short, red and green locs; black facial hair; and a septum and ear piercings.

Join poet and artist Anaïs Duplan on Zoom as he leads these sessions connecting our bodies and our creativity.

Whether you are a visual artist, writer, musician, or arts worker, your work requires you to channel your inner knowing. But the challenges of being an arts professional often run counter to our ability to really foster our creativity. Through mindfulness practice, Duplan leads the group in two virtual sessions, nurturing our connections with our bodies and our innate sense of imagination.
