Sound Meditation for Clarity

Wednesday, May 27, 6:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m.
A restorative evening of art, sound, and reflection juxtaposes a  tour of the collections with a sound bath and guided meditation. Paired with calming breathwork and a live, acoustic performance, the experience allows participants to find clarity and resettle minds.  This after-hours event begins with a curated tour of NMWA’s collection and leads to a sound bath and guided meditation. Paired with calming breathwork and a live acoustic performance, the meditation experience will focus on finding clarity through abstract visualization, ultimately resetting our nervous systems and helping to settle restless minds.  Surrounded by art in a calming atmosphere, guests will be able to listen passively, seated or reclined, and connect with their inner knowing. This program blends art, mindfulness, and social connection, offering both personal renewal and the joy of coming together. 

Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, or blanket to accommodate a comfortable sitting or lying position on the Great Hall’s marble floor. Tickets: $25; Students, seniors, DC residents: $22; Members: $20. Reservations required.

This is the latest in a suite of self-care events at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA). The series was developed in response to May as Mental Health Awareness Month and “Maycember”, slang for the frenzied, over-scheduled month before the school year-ends.Scientific studies have proven that time spent engaging with art can relieve stress, lower the risk of heart disease, and boost immune systems. NMWA, its collection and its programs provide a variety of opportunities to unwind and be present. Other events this May include yoga, dance, art-making, and workshops. The Museum Shop also offers a special selection of restoration and self-care related items.
