Sunset Meditation – Mindfulness Under the Stars
Meditate under the stars in our Planetarium with a soothing journey from the Grand Canyon to the North Pole.
Step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with calm in a truly immersive setting. Meditate beneath the stars in our Planetarium, where the vastness of the universe meets the stillness of the mind—inviting reflection, balance, and renewal.
Presented in collaboration with the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, this wellness-focused evening combines a visually soothing planetarium experience with a meaningful conversation with David Greenshields on mindfulness and resilience.
