Elixir: Fragmented Reality

Life can sometimes be chaotic, stressful, and overwhelming. Although others may be unable to see it by looking at us, we sometimes feel shattered like broken pottery. Some of the objects at the Spurlock Museum are broken, too. Even as part of a whole, these fragments remain rich, interesting, and tell a compelling story just like fragments in our lives.

Join Christa Deacy-Quinn for this experimental and restorative Elixir. You’ll observe and handle broken and fragmented Museum objects, reflect on your own rich and compelling fragmented story, and examine your fragments through a prompted activity.

Christa is a certified yoga and meditation instructor and teaches warm restorative yoga at Amara Yoga and Arts in Urbana. She also oversees the restoration and preservation of Spurlock Museum’s artifacts as its Collections Manager.
