Pensive Portraits: Mindfulness and Writing

Be guided through a mindfulness meditation and contemplation of a portrait by Rembrandt. We will use elements of the portrait as writing prompts to gently explore our personal connection to the portrait and how it resonates with us. Please have something to write with at hand. Some optional interaction in small breakout groups is part of the session.

Led by Lucia van der Drift, for Limina Collective.

For Creativity & Wellbeing Week 2023, the Wallace Collection are partnering with mindfulness and art experts, Limina Collective. This year our theme is Pensive Portraits. Join us for a series of morning workshops exploring a selection of portraits through mindfulness.
