AESTHETIC LIVING
Creating Beauty in Everyday Moments
28th July, Varberg, Sweden
Introduction
"Discovering and embracing beauty in the simplicity of our daily lives. Each moment becomes an opportunity to create, experience, and be touched by the beauty surrounding us".
In this creative well-being workshop, we will explore some of the aesthetic practices and ideologies from Eastern culture, delving into the profound nourishment they offer for the body, mind, and soul. Through a blend of creative art and holistic practices, like mindfulness and wellness promotion in traditional Chinese medicine, we aim to foster a unique embodied experience that nurtures your creativity and restores balance within.
Throughout the process, you will engage in various activities designed to awaken your senses and cultivate a deeper appreciation for beauty. From savouring herbal teas to immersing yourself in the aromas of nature, each activity invites you to connect with aesthetics in different forms.
Our vision for this workshop is not only to leave you feeling nourished, inspired, and re-centered, but also to empower you with the inner creative power to integrate beauty into your everyday life and work. In addition, we hope to cultivate a sense of deep connection and community as we co-create moments of beauty and joy together.
