Our monthly meditation practice is based on the idea of looking at examples of art to achieve a dynamic stillness of the mind. Each session will examine an artwork from a current exhibition to make us think\, refocus\, slow down and go deeper into our minds to permit body connection and awareness. \nAfter a short introduction to the artwork\, we will consider what is in its narrative and formal qualities that could serve us to quiet our minds. Guided meditation instruction and suggestions will lead us to a place of calmness and equilibrium. Each session will introduce and utilize different sets of tools from a variety of spiritual traditions to assist staying in comfortable meditative mode for about twenty minutes. However\, anyone having a prior meditation practice is welcome to utilize it and join us for the collective peaceful energy building.  \nTibetan sing bowl sound will accompany us with an occasional bell throughout the practice and to signal the end of the meditation session. Afterwards\, we will welcome questions and comments about the practice\, the artwork\, and the experience in general. \nWe will conclude with a minute of closing meditation to internally seal the benefits of the practice.   \nLocation: The Dalí Museum’s Will Raymund Theater \nSeating for this event is limited.

After taking many classes in various yoga studios\, Kristof made the decision to study at the oldest New York City yoga establishment\, the Integral Yoga Institute.  Having earned his credentials\, he taught all aspects of yoga\, physical poses\, philosophy\, breath work and meditation at the institution from 2007 to 2020. Additional studies and certification in Restorative Yoga and Yoga for Kids helped Kristof to incorporate best practices with his students in high school as well as in the Yoga Institute. To deepen and to continue his own spiritual journey\, Kristof was a devoted practitioner of meditation at the Insight Meditation Center\, the Rubin Museum in NYC as well as at ashrams in the Bahamas and California. \n\n\n\nBanner Image: Detail of Dalinian Prophecy\, 1975 by Salvador Dalí URL:https://stpetedirectory.com/event/art-and-meditation-at-the-dali-4/ CATEGORIES:Featured,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://stpetedirectory.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/1200x500_Dalinian-Prophecy-gabHjf.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250211T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250211T190000 DTSTAMP:20250210T202738Z CREATED:20250114T173241Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250210T202738Z UID:10003076-1739296800-1739300400@stpetedirectory.com SUMMARY:performance: Until the River Never Grieves – SOLD OUT DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\nThis event has sold out. \nIn celebration of Black History Month\, we invite you to join us for the performance Until the River Never Grieves by Bob Devin Jones.

Salvador Dalí’s arrival in 1929 expanded Surrealism’s scope and impact\, leaving an indelible mark on the movement’s evolution. \nIn 2004\, The Dalí Museum hosted a landmark conference in St. Petersburg\, FL\, commemorating the centenary of Salvador Dalí’s birth. The event produced groundbreaking scholarship that has since shaped the field of Surrealism studies. Twenty years later\, many of those same distinguished experts—leaders in their respective fields—will reunite to honor Surrealism’s 100th anniversary\, delving into underexplored aspects of this revolutionary movement and fostering a new generation of research. \n\nmember tickets\nnon-member tickets URL:https://stpetedirectory.com/event/100-years-of-surrealism-conference/ CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://stpetedirectory.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/surrealist-group-QM6aCn.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241212T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241212T193000 DTSTAMP:20241211T210557Z CREATED:20241211T210557Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241211T210557Z UID:10002949-1734026400-1734031800@stpetedirectory.com SUMMARY:Poetry at The Dalí: Open Mic Night DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\nJoin us for another great evening of Poetry Open Mic at The Dalí.

Each session will examine an artwork from a current exhibition to make us think\, refocus\, slow down and go deeper into our minds to permit body connection and awareness. \nAfter a short introduction to the artwork\, we will consider what is in its narrative and formal qualities that could serve us to quiet our minds. Guided meditation instruction and suggestions will lead us to a place of calmness and equilibrium. Each session will introduce and utilize different sets of tools from a variety of spiritual traditions to assist staying in comfortable meditative mode for about twenty minutes. However\, anyone having a prior meditation practice is welcome to utilize it and join us for the collective peaceful energy building.  \nTibetan sing bowl sound will accompany us with an occasional bell throughout the practice and to signal the end of the meditation session. Afterwards\, we will welcome questions and comments about the practice\, the artwork\, and the experience in general. \nWe will conclude with a minute of closing meditation to internally seal the benefits of the practice.   \nLocation: The Dalí Museum’s Will Raymund Theater \nSeating for this event is limited.
