Please join Department of Transformation, Jonathan Bruce Williams, and Payal Parekh for Conscious Connection, an experimental movement and mindfulness workshop conceived for the opening of Consciousness Energy Grid, a presentation of new animated lightbox sculptures by Williams on view from May 4–11 by appointment at The Clemente.
Jonathan Bruce Williams begins this experiential program by demonstrating the creative use (and abuse) of mobile communication technologies to form a chain of uncanny connection that summons the ghosts in our collective machines. Payal Parekh follows by leading participants in an embodied practice that includes stretching, meditation, reflection, and discussion based on Blessed Rest by Payal, an affirmational card deck conceived as a supportive reminder that rest is our collective birthright and a critical aspect of healing.
Following Conscious Connection will be a reception to celebrate the opening of Consciousness Energy Grid. This program is free; RSVP is requested. Participants are encouraged to wear movement-appropriate clothing and to bring a yoga mat, if possible.
