Memory Café: Meditation with Clay
Date: Friday, January 19, 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Location: Christ Church Neighborhood House at 20 N American Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 (Old City)
Experience the power of combining clay and meditation at the upcoming Memory Café. Led by local artist Kathie Regan, you’ll complete meditation exercises that incorporate kneeding and molding clay in your hands. These exercises work to strengthen the mind-body connection, ground you in the present moment, and bolster the ability to let go and release. Together, we will get a positive start to 2024!
Please note: This class is experiential and is not centered around creating a finished product.
