The Penn Museum is turning its galleries into an after-hours wellness space on Nov. 4, with yoga, meditation, sound baths, Tai Chi and artmaking spread throughout the museum.
Mind & Mood Recharge runs from 5-8 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month through April 7. The series is included with museum admission and is free for Penn Museum members, PennCard holders and Penn Medicine patients and staff.
The Nov. 4 program includes 30-minute all-levels yoga sessions at 5:30 and 6:15 p.m., along with meditation sessions at the same times. Sound baths are scheduled for 6:15 and 7:15 p.m., while Tai Chi sessions will also be offered at 6:15 and 7:15 p.m.
Attendees can also join a 6:30 p.m. guided “slow looking” gallery session or drop into the “Wear Your Mood” artmaking activity from 5:30-7:30 p.m. A wellness marketplace will feature local goods, while the botanical bar will offer light bites, herb-infused cocktails and mocktails.
