What if, every month, you could find a moment to stop, relax, breathe, and immerse yourself deeply in the works of art that surround you?
MAAT challenges you to a unique monthly experience of contemplation and leisurely mediation between art and meditation.
This approach includes an exclusive meditation session in the exhibition space, enabling the discovery of 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 a deeper relationship between meditation and art.
Regular meditation practice contributes to stress reduction, improved concentration, and enhanced well-being. Integrated into a monthly routine, these sesssions propose art as a space for pause, self-care and connection with the present.
