Guided Meditation with Wellscapes

Hours: 10 pm and midnight

Tap into the healing power of nature by immersing yourself in nature’s splendor. Wellscapes is a series of five video retreats, designed to reduce stress and promote wellbeing. Minnesota photographer Craig Blacklock, who created the glorious videography, will be your tour guide to the stunning natural settings. Together you will watch, listen, and meditate. When you return from your retreat experience, we’ll ask for feedback, as other Wellscapes are in the make!

Storytelling, Imagery and Mandalas

Location: Target Studio at the Weisman Art Museum
Hour: 1 am

Connect with the power of story and its capacity to bring new meaning into our lives. These stories will be utilized to spark creativity and foster a guided imagery experience. Images from the storytelling and imagery experiences will be incorporated into the creation of a personal mandala that will be yours to keep!

Sun Salutations and Morning Movements

Hour: 5 am – 6 am

 Greet the dawn with a traditional morning meditation and exercise, designed for each new day and all new beginnings.
