Start your Mother’s Day at the Seaport Museum with a free family program centered around the Lotus flower, mindfulness, meditation, and reflection aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree. Join us for a multi-part event with author Anu Sehgal, as she presents her latest children’s book, I am a Lotus. This book is designed for families with children aged 3–10, offering an exploration of the Lotus flower’s cultural significance, symbolizing resilience, persistence, inner strength, and humility.
The event will include a delightful book reading by Sehgal, and an engaging hands-on, all-ages art activity that further explores the profound meaning of the Lotus flower. In addition, everyone is invited to participate in a brief family yoga session to experience Lotus meditation and movement.
Sign up today to join this program and discover the timeless wisdom encapsulated in the Lotus flower and its cultural importance across various traditions. Learn how to embody the virtues associated with the Lotus by incorporating simple practices into your daily routine.
This immersive program encourages families to pause and reflect on their profound connection with this natural wonder, which gracefully blooms in muddy waters to adorn sacred spaces and inspire artistic expression. Advanced registration is encouraged for this free event but walkups will be accommodated as possible.
