Tiny Portals · Season One: Autumn
About this episode
What does it mean to beautify our gaze? Inspired by the words of John O’Donohue, this session explores the art of paying attention, learning to recognize beauty in unexpected places, and allowing ourselves to be moved by the world around us.
Through the lens of Taoist philosophy, we explore the tender relationship between beauty and grief, the preciousness of impermanence, and the ways we might learn to meet the full spectrum of our emotions with greater openness. We consider how our relationship with the natural world, and the act of creating, can offer space for our feelings to move, transform, and find their way through us.
This is a session on cultivating a more receptive gaze, finding sanctuary in the ordinary, and remaining open to the quiet beauty of being alive.
