The Concept
The age old inquiry into what it means to be human is a question that has fascinated philosophers and scientists for centuries. It is clear that we are more than simply our basic needs for food, water and shelter. Sapiens are deeply relational beings who possess the unique ability to both perceive and participate in beauty. When we pay attention to our senses— hearing, taste, touch, sight and smell— the act of mindfulness not only leads us towards a deeper understanding of our material state but further invites us to expand our creativity.
