![Join us tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. for Ogden Museum Meditation. Special guests @jamieseerman and @sidmontz will be leading participants in a mindful meditation in front of Tau Lewis’ “God is King” and “Tree of God,” two mixed media works made of leather and suede.
Featured in Prospect.5 "Yesterday we said tomorrow," Tau Lewis primarily works with textiles, carving and assemblage of found objects. Her intention in her use of recycled and found materials is to invoke the necessity of such practices in various cultures and contexts. There is a therapeutic and cathartic element to Lewis’ work in that it references past personal and collective traumas and acknowledges the restorative power of labor.
Jamie Seerman is an international songwriter and visual artist. She is also a RYT 200 and has been practicing mindfulness since 2013. Currently, she volunteers at Strive, a non-profit in New Orleans, where she teaches meditation, yoga, music and art to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Sid Montz was introduced to yoga and Buddhist Meditation in 1987 while in college studying the arts. Sid’s primary spiritual teacher is Vietnamese Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hahn. Sid is an ordained lay monastic in Thich Nhat Hahn’s Order of Interbeing. After years of training, Sid has become an E-RYT 500 (happy old teacher) and a teacher trainer. His yoga offerings are primarily based in Yin and Restorative Yoga - always mixed with a little bit of Zen and available to anyone who is curious.
Ogden Museum Meditation takes place every first and third Thursday of the month from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and is free with admission. Plus, admission is free for Louisiana residents every Thursday at the O thanks to the Helis Foundation.
