The connection between sublime aesthetic experiences and intuitive insights originates in the sublime moment of breaching. When having a sublime experience, we are momentarily thrown off course. However, even though the momentary disruption can feel challenging and even uncomfortable, the sublime ae...

“You have chosen a different path.” I kept saying to myself, as I frustratedly packed the final items in my ridiculously large suitcases. I was totally unsure what I was doing at this juncture of my life. But at least I was feeling confident in the familiarity of that feeling, as no one ...

On Thursday, we were very much looking forward to returning to the Kenan offices. We had several meetings with project managers scheduled and were looking forward to getting deeper insights from the people actually running the projects. We had so far had few meetings with those we are supposed to su...

I had only ever heard of pad thai, and had actually never tried it before moving to Asia in 2016. I am a lover of all food, really, (at the time I kinda hated eggplant), with cereal of all things being a top choice. In those first three days, I think I ate an apple and a yogurt from 7/11. I was not ...

Bangkok is a fairly large city. The city is home to more than 10.5 million people as of 2020 and has a land area of more than 600 thousand square miles. There’s quite a lot of history in the city as well. It’d be virtually impossible to see and do everything within a single trip. T...

Within my first weekend of staying in Dublin I have managed to navigate the public transportation, City Centre, the massive University College Dublin and the Dublin Industrial Estate. I have officially started my internship at Her Sport, and I have made a couple of friends along the way. DAY O...

Amsterdam My mind is sailing to a tangerine sunrise. As it blinds my eyes, I wish for the sunglasses I left on the unmade bed in the Airbnb post gobbling down on a ‘slipped my mind kind of homemade slice’ from Aunt Mary. I try and hurtle against the sunlight as I swerve on the rented ...

1. Take a Stroll Through History at the British Museum My first recommendation is as educational as it is awe-inspiring. The British Museum, with its vast collection of world artifacts, is a window into the past. From the Rosetta Stone to the Elgin Marbles, each exhibit tells a story that sp...

When F. Ron tells you he had a meal in which he was entirely transported, you know you have to book a reservation at the same place…ASAP (seriously, drop everything you’re doing). Los Angeles is home to not just the best restaurants in the world, but also some o...

The key is to create a budget that allows you to save for retirement while also enjoying life. Start by taking an honest look at your income and expenses, and set aside money for both long-term savings and short-term goals.

I went through various major Upanishads and my intent is to summarize the essence here. Irrespective of whether we agree or disagree, I think the Upanishads concentrate on the nonduality of Atman and Brahman, where Atman is the self and Brahman is the cosmic universe. They are the most recent part o...

Imagine waking up one morning after a calamity and discovering — you’re a superhero! Something akin to Doctor Strange, you can sense disaster and potentially mitigate its damage, assess the physical health of strangers and administer energetic healing, converse with entities like ghosts ...

The Illusion of Separation Neurotransmitters. Brain waves. Neural correlates. Whatever you call it, the meat in your skull is cooking up experiences you label as ‘spiritual.’ Enlightenment. Even your most mystical visions can be explained — partly, at least — ...

We collect bad experiences in the same way we collect things as a hobby. Think of the trinkets you have around the house, fridge magnets from your travels, teacups maybe, or stamps. My thing is collecting small-sized soccer balls sold at the club shops of the teams I’ve watched. I kind of c...

I was coming off the high of organizing and hosting an extraordinary event. Imagine a beautiful event center with a ballroom, meeting room, and rotunda with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on a garden and a lake. We hosted over 130 educators for a professional learning event. There were n...

Doctors hand out opioids like candy, leading to hundreds of thousands of people getting hooked on pills with a significant percentage of them gravitating to heroin while those same doctors laugh at medical marijuana. This is a story about my personal experiences in the medical system over the pas...

Over the past couple of years, I’ve utilized psychedelics for the betterment of my mental health and overall life. Why? Isn’t that a little scary? Unpredictable, even? Sure, it can be. It can also be wonderful, mystical, joyful, overwhelming, sad, intense…and weird. D...

Psychedelic journeys are all about intentions, right? Yes, intentions will influence your experience going in, but integration is what will influence your life coming out of it. Whether you’ve planned for months or decided to partake in a journey on a whim — you did it, a...

As part of Frankly, Green + Webb, I’ve carried out research and evaluation on mobile experiences for over 20 cultural organisations. Last week, I was contacted by a previous client who had been approached by a company offering a free guide app that could, they said, help the organisation ...

This morning I conducted my first sensory ethnography ‘observation’ in the Courtyard Entrance of the Fitzwilliam Museum. I chose this for my first experience, as it’s one of two entrances to the Museum and therefore a key transitional space. I started the experience wi...

Museums have long been bastions of history and culture, offering a glimpse into the past and igniting curiosity about the world around us. But in an age dominated by technology, museums need to constantly innovate to remain relevant and engaging. This is where diffusion models, a type of artifi...
