Gatherings that invite us back to Beauty
Awakening Beauty is an invitation to see with fresh eyes — to rediscover a world of subtlety and wonder that modern life trains us to overlook.
Across cities, schools, design studios, learning communities, and quiet natural spaces, we host gatherings that open this conversation: about presence, perception, childhood, creativity, and the deep intelligence of beauty.
Through talks, book conversations, workshops, and reflective retreats, these events offer participants a chance to experience the essence of the book — not simply hear about it. They are spaces to slow down, to touch beauty directly, and to sense what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to truly see.

Join me in exploring the contents and the journey that led to the exploration of beauty as one of the three pillars of what is to be human. I don’t mean art but an essential aspect of life that is embedded in our biology – that which ensures sustainability of life – equally important as values and knowledge-that which is totally destroyed by modern education.

Pre-Publication Conversations 1
Session 1 — Children and Illiterate Communities: Beauty as a Biological Faculty
When beauty is not taught, it flowers. In this opening conversation, shares how living with children and traditional artisans revealed that beauty is not an artistic skill but a natural expression of being alive.

Session 3 — Reclaiming the Senses: Beauty as the Path to Wholeness
Years of mediated learning have dulled the senses that connect knowledge to life. Yet when they return to process—drawing, touching, observing—the aesthetic sense awakens, and knowledge regains vitality.
Research Collaboration — Beauty as Living Intelligence
An open invitation to scholars, designers, clinicians, craftspeople, educators, and field practitioners who wish to inquire—rigorously and gently—into beauty as a form of biological and perceptual intelligence.
Focus Areas
Explorations we are actively framing
— you are welcome to add your own lens.
• Sensory ecology of attention: how environments shape perception, selectivity, and taste
• Pattern, proportion, coherence: the fitness and elegance of living systems without excess or waste
• Implicit learning in childhood: pre-literate modes of understanding, judgment, and imagination
• Craft knowledge: material sense, hand intelligence, and situated know-how
• Healing aesthetics: the relationship between beauty, regulation, and well-being
• Interiority and presence: how perception deepens when the senses are allowed to open
Ways to Engage
Choose one pathway
— or braid several together.
• Co-design a field study or studio protocol
(schools, craft clusters, community studios, therapeutic settings)
• Share practice-based notes or datasets
We reciprocate with synthesis, reflection, and documentation.
• Host a research circle or reading salon
Small, intimate groups (6–12 participants) for shared inquiry.
• Co-author working papers, briefs, or reflective notes
Bringing together lived practice and conceptual clarity.
CALL TO ACTION
If this inquiry resonates with your work…
We invite you to reach out and join a growing network of people exploring beauty as a fundamental way of perceiving, learning, and engaging with the world.
