Experiences
Art of Noticing
Experiences in attention, curiosity and connection
Art of Noticing is a guided experience based in mindfulness and present moment awareness. It is an invitation to notice the world around you and your body’s internal landscape. This experience prioritizes curiosity, creativity, and non-judgemental observation.

Approach & Influences
Art of Noticing is inspired by a lifetime of personal and professional experiences. Through travel, volunteering, side hustle opportunities, and learning from and alongside various people in the disability, accessibility, and mindfulness communities I’ve seen a space that I wanted to create for myself and others.
Art of Noticing is informed by the restorative and evidence-based practices of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) as well as approaches to slow looking and sustained observation.
Contemporary artists and authors who have influenced the development of the experience include Eiko Otake, Lauri Lynnxe Murphy, Sam Winston, Ruth Broadbent, Flora Bowley, Shari Tishman, and Jill O’Bryan. Their work offers different ways of considering attention to the body, breath, movement, environment, materials and the process of making itself — they are living proof that art is a reparative act.
Bringing Art of Noticing to Your Community
How does it work? I will be hosting Art of Noticing sessions in different settings and advertising as they are scheduled.
What size groups? Group size depends on attendees and setting. Average group sizes 10-20 with special small group opportunities for families & friends.
What ages can participate? The art of noticing begins at a very early age and continues through all stages of life so most ages and people are welcome. Sessions will be clearly identified as adult or children permitted.
