Sound Bath with Ofosu Jones-Quartey (Session I)

Welcome to the Art & Wellness Club

Led by local and national wellness teachers, join us for free 30-minute online meditations. Inspired by an artwork from the collection, each session focuses on a different mindfulness practice and includes a Spotlight Talk by a Phillips Educator about the artwork.

Over the course of three sessions, mindfulness teacher and singer Ofosu Jones-Quartey will lead a special series of virtual meditations and sound baths inspired by nature’s elements—earth, air, and water. The first session draws inspiration from Sarah Anne Johnson’s The Mountain Top (Tree Planting project). The event begins with a Spotlight led by a Phillips Educator
