The age-old eastern tradition of tea preparation and service encourages participants to focus with careful, slow attention on the color, form, aroma, and taste of tea, as well as the look and feel of the tea cup. Ceramicist Hsin-Chuen Lin has made special tasting cups for this occasion. Join her to enjoy tea together in a small group and share thoughts on the exhibition Your Mind, This Moment: art and the practice of attention. Space is limited and advance reservations are recommended.

This program has been canceled.

Your Mind, This Moment: art and the practice of attention

–

This exhibition is an experiment. Your Mind, This Moment: art and the practice of attention presents works of art as objects of meditation. With input from an advisory group of artists who are also meditators, the gallery will be designed as an intimate space that encourages quietude. Short guided audio meditations, created for this occasion by Bay Area mindfulness teachers, will be available for visitors. Related public programs will offer an array of opportunities to explore the intersection between the practice of looking and the increasingly widespread practice of mindfulness meditation.
