Aesthetics 101: Arranging flowers and thoughts

What makes the ordinary beautiful? How is our sense of beauty created through ordinary objects, spaces, and experiences?

Join us for a philosophical session designed to explore everyday aesthetics through experience and dialogue.

A reflective and hands-on session to explore how aesthetics shape our everyday experiences.

Together, we will reflect on questions about beauty, and how aesthetic experiences integrate into our daily lives. We invite you to share your thoughts, reflect, and participate in meaningful dialogue. Let us press pause on the hustle and bustle of life for just a while, and take a moment to reflect on the beauty woven into our everyday experiences.

Experience includes:

- Dialogue on the role of aesthetics in everyday life.

- Hands-on flower arrangement (take home your own creation).

Only 15 spots available, so we can keep the conversation rich.

No walk-ins. Limited seats available.
