Wonder Sessions

These are interactive, hands-on workshops where we actively apply the ideas discussed in our talks. Participants are invited to explore creative practices, guided exercises, and cognitive tools that foster a deeper connection to wonder. These sessions are immersive, playful, and practical, offering direct experience rather than just theory. They can vary in length, from half-day sessions to two-day workshops, allowing for a flexible and tailored learning experience. Keep an eye on our socials for updates on upcoming sessions, or feel free to book a session on demand whenever you'd like to dive deeper into the practices.

Wondersessions @ UTOPIA Aalst

Following the talk 'The Art of Wonder', it's time for the Wondersessions. 

Three evenings. Three gentle practices. One soft reset.
Each session begins with a short lecture and flows into a hands-on practice. First you learn to look. Then to feel. Only after, you start to think... a little differently. A way to reconnect with what was always there to begin with. 

Practical info
Thu 15/01: Look (the esthetic practice)
Thu 22/01: Feel (the embodied practice)
Thu 29/01: Think (the reflective practice)

Wondersessies @ UTOPIA Aalst

Na de lezing 'De kunst van verwondering' volgen nu de Wondersessies.

Drie avonden. Drie praktijken. Eén zachte reset.
Elke sessie begint met een lezing en eindigt in de praktijk. Eerst leer je kijken. Dan voelen. En pas daarna anders denken. Een manier om opnieuw contact te maken met wat er altijd al was.

Praktisch
Do 15/01: Kijken
