Artful Practices for Well-Being

The Museum of Modern Art uses engagement with art as a starting point for reflection and creative routines. Themes include play, gratitude, loss, rest and bodily awareness. It suits learners who prefer an exploratory creative approach and want to notice their responses without needing an art-history or mindfulness background.

What you will learn

• Explore curiosity through artworks.
• Connect creative reflection with everyday routines.
• Notice emotional and bodily responses.

Who this suits

No prior knowledge of art, art history or mindfulness is required by the provider.

Before you enroll
