Session 1: Sensory as Spirituality

In part one of this series, we explore our sensory systems and how they can be used for healing and spiritual alignment. This immersive and experiential workshop utilizes sound, scent, movement, and breath in a thoughtfully guided activation designed to explore spirituality via our sensory systems. Admission to the exhibitions is included.
