SUMMARY:Sunset Meditation
DESCRIPTION:How do STEM workers\, including NASA professionals\, cope with stress? Exercise is one way. Physical activity and fitness have been discussed in many NASA outreach efforts. However\, outreach efforts regarding other branches of health\, such as emotional\, psychological\, and social well-being\, are lacking. Given that jobs come with stress\, a global understanding of the science of stress and learning a healthy way to cope with it helps with the well-being of employees\, job productivity\, employee retention\, etc. Meditation is a powerful tool for maintaining psychological health and resilience. Since the planetarium offers a dark and quiet space for relaxation\, it is the perfect place for meditation. Enjoy a guided meditation experience from Ball State University with the program “Sunset Meditation.” View a fantastic sunset as you travel from the Grand Canyon to the North Pole. Then\, relax under a night sky filled with stars and glimpses of the Northern Lights. \nFulldome Film\nApprox 25 Minutes\nGet Tickets \nView the Trailer Here!
