Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū

Every Friday this spring ('til the end of November) we are offering thirty-minute walking meditation sessions in the Gallery to relax and revive you at the end of the week.

Hosted and guided by Kotte, they’re perfect for city workers who want to spend their Friday lunchtime differently, or for anyone keen to unwind before the weekend. Grow a mindfulness meditation practice on your feet.

No experience necessary – just bring your curiosity, and meet some like-minded individuals who want to use the Gallery in a different way.

Walking meditation is a simple practice that generates peace, calm, compassion and connection. It is super-easy, and involves being guided in a group while learning to be aware of yourself walking and enjoying being present to being in your body. It feels great, and will strengthen your attention and happiness.

Meet at the front desk. No bookings needed.

Says Kotte: “These sessions are open to anyone, regular practitioners or beginners – everyone will be able to gain something from joining us. The intention is to provide tools to be aware of the mind, breath and body, using the external distractions that we face day to day.

The sessions will also teach you how to absorb and observe art in a mindful way, learning new techniques and ways to navigate the art gallery – and new ways to walk. Becoming more present will help you reduce stress and be more calm.”
