In our last newsletter, we discussed the mind and body connection — the importance of incorporating our senses in everything we do.

This week, let’s explore that further by considering experiences.

How important are experiences? Experiences have the power to make us feel, to provoke our thinking, to challenge our eye. Whether they’re art installations, physical spaces, or simply visuals, they are triggers.

Here are four examples to consider. As you look at each, consider what the experience might create for you, the feelings, ideas, thoughts, and space:

• “Measuring the Universe’ by Roman Ondak, 2009, Museum of Modern Art, NYC
• The Heartbeat Library by Laura Imai Messina
• Alex Israel’s REMEBR, Gagosian Gallery, June-July 2024
• Olivia Rose, Free Guided Walks Around New York City, featured in the New York Times, 4/21/25

How might these examples encourage you to seek or create more experiences?
