An Embodied Meditation Experience Through Art

An Embodied Meditation Experience Through Art is a guided walking meditation designed and facilitated by ONOHR. Rooted in embodiment, presence, and harmony, ONOHR curates practical, restorative tools for everyday natural environments.

This is not a traditional museum tour, nor is it affiliated with, or hosted by the National Portrait Gallery. The gallery serves as the natural environment for the meditation experience.

With the National Portrait Gallery as the natural environment, participants will engage in a walking meditation that invites them to experience the artwork on a sensory and energetic level—beyond observation, into felt connection.

The goal is to introduce tools that participants can cultivate independently and apply in daily, real-world moments.

What to Expect:

• Brief introduction and grounding outside or in the lobby
• Lightly guided walking meditation through select galleries
• Follow-on prompts for your continued embodied practice

Please Note:

• Admission is free to National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institute.
• The meditation experience is designed and curated by ONOHR.
• The experience is designed for an intimate group of participants.
• This is a gentle, inclusive experience for all bodies and backgrounds.
• Prompt arrival is essential; helpful details will be shared in advance.

Participants are encouraged to continue to enjoy the Gallery after the session, applying newly acquired tools and enjoying the beauty of the exhibitions. It case you are interested, the Portrait Gallery Art Studio workshop is a family event and takes place until 4:00 pm at no cost.For directions, parking, public transportation, entry, and other critical assistance, visit the National Portrait Gallery site at https://npg.si.edu/.
