 Meditative Mondays: Where Art, Sound, and Stillness Meet
By Rhonda Radford Adams | Healing Artist & Smile Coach We often think of meditation as something done in solitude — quiet, still, and eyes closed. But what if meditation could look a little different? What if it could be experienced surrounded by art… wrapped in sound… and guided by color? That’s the intention behind Meditative Mondays at Archway Gallery. Each month, I invite guests to step into a calm, creative space — not just to observe art, but to experience it as a tool for meditation and self-reflection. A New Way to Reset These sessions aren’t about “getting it right” — they’re about showing up. Each one begins with a crystal sound bath, allowing the vibrations to soften the body and quiet the mind. From there, we gently transition into visual meditation, where guests are invited to engage with the art on the gallery walls, observing how color, movement, and shape speak to the soul. It’s not about interpreting the art. It’s about letting it reflect something in you. You’ll receive a prompt card for journaling or intuitive drawing — a take-home “recipe for the soul” that you can return to anytime you need a pause. These kits are part of a growing series designed to nourish creativity, calm, and clarity over time.Why It Works As a healing artist and registered dental hygienist, my mission is simple: to nurture the smile from the inside out. I believe wellness is holistic. It’s how we breathe, how we express, how we show up — for ourselves and each other. And through the power of sound, creativity, and color, we can access parts of ourselves that may be overlooked in daily life. Meditative Mondays is a space to explore that — with ease, gentleness, and intention. Come As You Are No experience is needed. Just bring a yoga mat or pillow if you’d like to get cozy, and arrive a few minutes early to explore the gallery and settle in. You’ll be surrounded by the work of 34 local artists, each piece adding its own unique energy and inspiration to your evening. Whether you draw, write, listen, or simply sit in stillness, you’re welcome here. Come begin The month — with breath, color, and calm. Join us for Meditative Mondays at Archway Gallery.

Overfishing, climate change and tourism have caused damage that is just starting to repair itself. Anne’s installation will begin in the winter months as the vegetation is dying back, much like the reefs. Her hope is that by the end of February the vegetation will begin to recover, just as there is hope that the reefs can recover.
