Art and relaxation event at museum

On Saturday, October 31 at 10:00, the Hyacinthe Rigaud Art Museum in Perpignan is offering an original experience that combines art with sophrology, a practice that blends relaxation techniques and mindfulness. The event is led by Anne Forgues, a sophrologist and mental health specialist based in Pia.

Sophrology and art experience

As part of the museum's well-being program, participants will explore the museum's artworks from a different perspective, guided by Anne Forgues. Throughout the exhibition spaces, she will lead a tour of selected works, encouraging attendees to engage with their five senses, emotions, and physical sensations.

Sophrology techniques included

The session includes breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, and positive visualization, creating a space for participants to slow down, relax, and experience art in a new way. This approach aims to foster a deeper emotional and sensory connection with the artwork on display.
