Seva Series: Cultivate Mindfulness
Join Artist-in-Residence Lauren Ash for an hour-long practice of Seva and mindfulness. Seva (say-va) is a Sanskrit word representing the act of selfless service. Lauren will offer Seva practice at the Arts Incubator on the second Tuesday of every month. All those who join will create and engage in meaningful exchange. Attendees will also cultivate mindfulness through movement, meditation, and guided activity. In alignment with the objectives of her residency, Lauren is crafting Seva as a space that centers the healing of self-identified people of color.
