About this Event

Stanley Picker Fellow Davinia-Ann Robinson will be leading a Guided Yoga Nidra Meditation session at Stanley Picker Gallery on Saturday 29 November 2025 as part of her new solo exhibition .

Drawing on the theme of stillness, Davinia-Ann will guide participants through a yoga Nidra meditation exploring connections with the earth and ancestry as an encounter of spiritual activism. The event is for those who identify as BIPOC - Black, Brown, and Indigenous people of colour only.

Event information:

4:30-5pm Enjoy a calming cup of tea and have a chance to see Davinia-Ann's exhibition

5-6pm Guided Meditation Yoga Nidra session

The mediation will take place in the gallery space, within the exhibition 'Through an Embodied Practice of Stillness'. Please note that there are unfired clay sculptures in the gallery space, so the event may not be suitable for individuals with asthma or breathing difficulties.

Please wear comfortable, warm clothing you don't mind getting clay on, and bring a yoga mat or a blanket / thick towel to sit or lie on, along with a journal or notebook and pen.

You don't need any previous experience with yoga Nidra to attend this event.

Davinia-Ann is a yoga practitioner, trained with Iya-kin, a BIPOC-led program focused on rest for Black and Brown people and a Yoga Nidra guide, trained with Ashe Yoga Collective, which elevates BIPOC and queer voices.

The exhibition Through an Embodied Practice of Stillness is a new series of sculptural installations, soundscapes and film work which explores encounters with stillness through the body’s engagement with somatic practices and raw and reclaimed clay.

Through an Embodied Practice of Stillness explores how racial trauma is held within Black and Brown bodies through ancestral, intergenerational and present-day encounters with ‘white-body supremacy’ and how embodied engagements between the body and clay can be conduits for undoing and dismantling racial trauma.
