Experiencing Beauty
With Marianne de KleerExperiencing Beauty is a gentle five-day exploration of how to notice and appreciate the beauty in your everyday life. Instead of waiting for extraordinary moments, this course invites you to rediscover the quiet wonder already present in textures, sounds, light, and small details. Each short lesson (under 10 minutes) explores a theme paired with a simple prompt you can carry into your day. No journaling is required. Optional guided reflections and gentle awareness practices support a more embodied experience. These tools can help ease stress, deepen your sense of connection, and open space for creative responses. By the end of the course, you may feel more grounded, less rushed, and more attuned to the richness around you. Written by Marianne de Kleer, the course draws on principles of mindfulness, somatic awareness, and creative reflection. You’re welcome to share your thoughts or questions in the course classroom. Includes quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh, Kyoriku, Issa, Chigetsu, and Katherine May.
