Dharma Alive: The Kinetic Dialogue

A Somatic & Contemplative Art Experience

Presented By: Dharma Alive Incubator

Date: February 1, 2026

Duration: 120 Minutes

Location: Atelier for Healing San Bruno

Program Schedule (120 Minutes)

A progressive sensory journey designed to heighten spatial and internal perception.

• 10 min | Integrative Health Perspective: An introduction to the modern convergence of mind-

body science.

• 30 min | Metta (Loving-Kindness) Meditation: Directing benevolence toward the body to

establish internal safety and positive intent.

• 30 min | Feldenkrais Somatic Integration: Gentle, micro-movements designed to rewire

neural connections and awaken somatic sensitivity.

• 20 min | Mindfulness of the Body: Turning mindful attention inward to track breath,

sensation, and subtle shifts - cultivating embodied clarity as the foundation for presence.

• 30 min | Dialogue & Connection: Interdisciplinary Q&A and community building.

This event serves not only as a wellness experience but as a catalyst for mental wellness and

aesthetic engagement.

• Deepened Engagement: By using Feldenkrais methods to regulate the nervous system and

heighten sensory acuity, participants are primed to notice nuances in artwork that the

distracted mind often misses. Engaging with art in this manner can meaningfully extend

“dwell time,” deepen interpretive connection, and enhance the mental health impact each

piece of artwork is carefully selected for, in order to join Atelier for Healing.

• The Patronage Bond: We aim to convert this state of profound connection into a lasting

relationship with the institution. When visitors experience healing and clarity within the art

center’s walls, it naturally fosters a desire to support the museum’s mission and collections in

the long term.
