Somatic Soundscape & Meditation

Join us for an experience you’ll want to do again and again. Each month, a new gallery or art piece will be chosen to observe after the museum is closed. You will then be guided in a deep meditation followed by a somatic soundscape to help you journey and rest. You will feel inspired and rejuvenated.

Join us in observing a piece of art for a couple of minutes, followed by meditative yin yoga practice led by Becky Nakashima Brooke. The class will end with savasana. 

Slow art is the practice of spending more time observing art. The average person spends 8-30 seconds observing a piece of art. Slow art will allow you more time to connect with the art. The piece of art will be chosen for the class to view. 

Yin yoga is the practice of using seated and lying down poses to target the connective tissues around the joints, tendons, and fascia. We linger in the poses anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes. The time will be kept by Becky, but each of the students will have the freedom to adjust when needed. This practice is beneficial for all levels. 

Second Free Saturdays at the Figge

Yoga from 10:30-11:30 am.

Please bring a mat.

Our practice is rooted in the compassionate teachings of Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh and traditions of Plum Village. We are committed to nurturing peace and wellbeing in ourselves, our community, and the diverse natural ecology of our Mother Earth, for they are not separate. Fifteen years ago, the Prairie Oaks Sangha began as a small group of three people, gathering for mindfulness meditation in the beautiful setting of Prairie Oaks Reserve. Over the years, we have grown and evolved, and we now offer weekly online meditation, monthly in-person meditation, and seasonal Days of Mindfulness.  All are welcome!
