Well, Being

The Kala Art Institute and UC Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design have partnered to facilitate Print Public, a series of public art projects located in South-West Berkeley along San Pablo Avenue. Our project, Well, Being poses silent walking/movement meditations as explorations of the following questions: “What do wellness and health look like communally? Can a route of well-being be traced geographically? What do outer manifestations of inner silence look like?” Part flash-mob, part vigil, part Zen, Well, Being investigates the nature of reality without the usual pomp of ceremony.

Well, Being aims to facilitate communal silence for the discovery of all; and foster cross-pollination between religious groups, service organizations, spiritual practitioners, social justice workers, and ecology leaders through silent, aware, being. Between June 2014 – August 2015, we will inhabit empty lots, underused portions of commercial businesses, and urban farms with our bodies and tributary flags, spreading beneficial energy out to the surrounding environs. We are open to all kinds of contemplative movement traditions and actively seek diversity of spirit, tradition, culture, history, and body.

Join us! for a collaboration event with Ecology Center.
