The Cloisters: Catalyst for Meditation ~ September 25th at 10:30am

Join the Rev. Dr. Clair McPherson in looking at the architecture as well as the artifacts of the Cloisters in order to understand how, as early medieval constructs, they are deliberately designed to enhance meditation and serve as catalysts for theological mindfulness as well. They are not just objects of art or religious decor, but part of the process, in other words.
