Mindfulness can be practised in many different forms. Museums can also be sites for mindful practices and self-care. M+ is delighted to celebrate the worldwide Slow Art Day through a half-day art and mindfulness experience. Led by experienced yoga teacher and art educator Lau Tin Ming and M+ Educators, this comprehensive and immersive experience is designed to help participants reconnect with their physical and mental wellbeing through the medium of art and creativity.
