EVOKING SENSE OF WONDER
Our sense of wonder makes us human. Reclaiming, nurturing and protecting it is fundamental to our survival as human species and not succumb to quantification of every aspect of our life. A child naturally has a sense of wonder. It is us adults who have to educate and unlearn to reclaim our sense of wonder. Join us.
