Artereal Gallery hosts Meditation for Relationships

Artereal Gallery continues to host monthly group meditation events with artist, Psychotherapist and facilitator of creativity, noula diamantopoulos. This month, the group meditation and mindfulness workshop will take place Tuesday 23 June between 6-7.30PM, with a core focus on the ways in which a practice of meditation and mindfulness can benefit your relationships. From July through to November, the events will explore a broad range of other themes including meditation for: stress (July), creativity, pregnancy and even meditation for kids! 

As humans, we are inherently social and rely on relationships for happiness, community, belonging and success. Relationships are the axes on which our world revolves. We relish the good ones but when they turn sour, they possess an ability to cast a shadow over everything, catapulting our lives into darkness. 

As a psychotherapist, much of noula's work is with clients who exhibit immense intelligence in all areas of their lives, but struggle to create and maintain healthy, loving relationships. 

At the core of every healthy relationship is the health of the relationship you have with yourself. If this core becomes rotten, it’s no surprise then that your relationships with others suffer also. 

In this meditation workshop, noula will intersect her psychotherapy teachings with a series of mindfulness meditation techniques to create a course in meditation that prompts reflection and invites us to examine the health of the relationships in our lives. The goal? To nourish the most important relationship of all – the one with yourself, which will in turn open up endless opportunities to nurture and improve the relationships in both your professional and personal life.

NOULA / CONTEMPORARY ART, COMMUNITY & CONSCIOUSNESS CELEBRATED AT ARTEREAL GALLERY MEDITATION EVENT

Last Tuesday, Artereal Gallery was transformed into a home of consciousness, community and contemporary art, welcoming more than 40 guests for a meditation workshop with exhibiting artist, noula diamantopoulos.

The free event, Inhale: From Meditation to Manifestation, brought together a wide section of Sydney-siders, crossing generations, cultures and genders to create a melting pot of humans under a shared goal of connecting with like-minded individuals and exploring the benefits of meditation.

Seasoned and novice meditators alike came together under the guidance of exhibiting artist, noula diamantopoulos, who introduced the group to a range of meditation techniques before inviting guests to share their experience with the process.

“In a world that demands we are connected and available 24/7, we have never been so disconnected. While it may seem counterintuitive, disconnecting from our online obligations is the answer to finding real connection; not only with ourselves but also our community,” said diamantopoulos.

“Meditation is becoming increasingly mainstream; the benefits are countless and undisputed. As part of this free event, we wanted to create a safe space for people to learn about and explore different meditation techniques and to forge connections with other likeminded people,” she said.

Following with meditation, attendees were encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences with the rest of the group, prompting some powerful responses. Many of the attendees also remained after the event to chat with Noula and personally thank her for the night.

The workshop took place amidst the pristine surrounds of contemporary art by diamantopoulos, whose exhibition Inhale – receiving the divine gift, served as an ideal backdrop for a group meditation workshop.
