People often say, what do I need to do to have this use of the arts? Should I paint? Should I draw? Should I dance? And what we really thought a lot about was what are the ingredients that you need? in order to move in the world, thinking about this idea of aesthetics and the arts.

The first one is curiosity, and that's really having an open mind, looking around the corner, really lifting your head up from your phone, being curious about the world. The second is playful exploration, and that is around not having to have an answer. not having to have a conclusion, not having to have finished making something, but just to explore.

And it turns out that that's very hard for us in a world that looks for production and looks for outcomes. And then the third is this idea around sensory exploration. So feeling, looking, smelling, touching, just being more engaged in those sensory experiences that felt, sensed. And the last is being intentional about making and beholding.

An aesthetic mindset with those kind of ingredients, with those sensibilities, it's really an adventure. It's really a journey. And it doesn't mean that you're always gonna be happy because journeys have darkness and they have worry and they have curiosity and they have joy and they have all of the emotions. There's some researchers now that say we have over 30,000 different feelings and emotions.

And just really allowing your nervous system to regulate based on our natural world. And, you know, our natural world is the most aesthetic place. You may decide that you want to dance at the end of the day, that you want to put on some music and dance with or without somebody.
