Small in the Right Way — Awe as a Practice

13 min

Best for: feeling small in a good way

This session is a guided practice in awe, the stranger, older relative of joy that arrives when we encounter something vast. Drawing on emerging research into how awe quiets self-focused thinking and widens the sense of time, you'll be led through moments of stillness designed to shift your sense of scale. Rather than chasing delight or contentment, you'll practise meeting vastness — in memory, imagination, or the present moment — and noticing what moves. A gentle recalibration of proportion for anyone who feels tightly wound inside their own story.
