SUMMARY:Yoga and Meditation in the Galleries at PEM
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: East India Marine Hall \nMembers $5; nonmembers $10\nAdvance tickets are required; space is limited. \nPlease note that this session will begin with meditation\, followed by yoga. \nThis class is designed to be accessible to all ages and abilities. No prior experience with yoga or meditation is necessary – all are welcome! Limited seating will be available in the gallery during meditation. \nSealed water is permitted in the gallery during yoga and meditation. \nWe recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and silence your phone or devices for this program to get the most out of this mindfulness practice. \nJoin us for a morning of yoga and meditation! Deepen your breath and take in the serenity of the historic East India Marine Hall during a yoga class led by Soul City Yoga. Then\, stick around for a special guided mindfulness session in the gallery from 10:15–10:45 am. \nAbout the Gallery\nEast India Marine Hall was built using local Cape Ann granite in 1824-25 by the architect Thomas Waldron Sumner. It was the headquarters for the East India Marine Society\, PEM’s founding organization. This group of 22 sea captains and traders sailed all over the world from Salem and started the oldest collecting museum in America in 1799. East India Marine Hall is the historical and physical heart of the museum; over time\, added gallery spaces have surrounded it. Recently restored to its original elegance\, the building is a National Historic Landmark. \nEast India Marine Hall currently houses nine carved ship’s figureheads that are juxtaposed with amplified music and sea ballads as a part of Scottish artist Susan Philipsz’s exhibition If I With You Would Go. Philipsz uses sound to heighten awareness of space\, emotion and memory. Her choice of a song about a young woman lured away to sea is a mythical and cautionary echo of the mercantile and maritime history embodied in this historic hall. \nObserving art can induce a “flow state” of mindfulness and activate the same part of the brain that more traditional mindfulness practices\, like meditation and yoga\, do. Join us on the first Sunday morning of every month (second Sundays for holiday weekends) in a guided practice of “mindful looking.” Come be still\, relax and connect more deeply with artworks from PEM’s collection.
