ACCESSIBILITY
We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. If you have questions about accessibility or require an accommodation such as CART captioning or ASL interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Accessibility Manager Helyn Marshall at accessibility@wexarts.org or via telephone at (614) 688-3890. Requests made by two weeks in advance will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the Wexner Center for the Arts will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.

Explore your relationship with local and remote ecosystems in this pair of meditation sessions led by Artist Residency Award recipient Hope Ginsburg.

These Breathe chapters offer a dive into mindfulness for both beginning and experienced meditators. Along with Ginsburg, you’ll explore connections between two ecosystems: the far-flung coral reef found in the Meditation Ocean installation (March 4) and a local site, the Schiermeier Olentangy River Wetland Research Park, which we’ll visit as a group on March 11. Intention-setting, inquiry, and exchange are part of each afternoon, along with the invitation to deepen your relationship with our environment through continued meditation practice and engagement.
