The Watermill Center will host “Gratitune” with wellness teacher Karen M. Meyer on November 21, at 10 AM, as part of their Healing Arts program, which launched earlier this year.
Meyer will lead participants to receive the vibrational sounds of tuning forks, crystal bowls, and the gong alongside mindful movement and meditation to open the body’s energy channels and connect to the heart of gratitude. Attendees will learn simple techniques for home practice to consciously live every day in gratitude.
Healing Arts @ The Watermill Center is a series of workshops and guided meditations offering the public the chance to explore the intersection of art and wellness. Through hands-on activities with a rotating roster of artists, the local community is invited to explore the healing power of art in a communal and experimental setting.
