Seeing with Spirit
Join us for a casual, thoughtful conversation connecting art and spiritual practice.
Each month, a faith, spiritual, or contemplative practitioner joins a High staff member in a conversation centered on a work of art and the ways it invites deeper reflection into their contemplative practice.
This month’s discussion will feature Paul Root Wolpe, who works at Emory University as the Raymond F. Schinazi Distinguished Research Chair in Jewish Bioethics; professor of medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, neuroscience, and sociology; and director of the Center for Ethics.
Join the conversation at 7 and 8:15 p.m.
In Gallery Music
Immerse yourself in peaceful sounds as you rediscover our Modern and Contemporary Art gallery. This month we will be joined by Danielle Hall, founder and CEO of SoundEmbrace. Currently working on her doctoral dissertation in psychology and holistic health counseling, Danielle has a Master in Metaphysical Science and a certification in sound healing therapy and works with hospitals, corporate wellness programs, therapy centers, and nonprofits.
Drop-in sessions will begin at 6:20 p.m. and start again every fifteen minutes with five-minute breaks in between.
