What if, every month, you could find a moment to stop, relax, breathe, and immerse yourself deeply in the works of art around you?
MAAT challenges you to a unique monthly experience of contemplation and mediation between art and meditation.
This innovative approach includes an exclusive meditation session in the exhibition space, making it possible to discover new layers of meaning and knowledge while promoting balance and well-being of body and mind.
Each session is unique and meticulously tailored to the theme of the featured exhibition, providing an enriching experience and allowing exploration of the deep connection between meditation and the works of art.
With regular practice, meditation can reduce stress, improve concentration, and promote greater well-being. By integrating these sessions into the monthly routine, art and meditation combine to promote self-care and a greater connection with the present moment.
