Precious moments with dear design students in less traditional explorations. Deconstructing some realities, re-constructing others. Design is the practice of discernment enchanted by the world that surrounds us. Asking questions. Possibly not finding answers, just yet.

Three years ago I made one of the best life-design moves. Today my heart is jumping to the thought of returning soon and I’m not sure what to do with myself. A place that always feels right. Land as teacher. Creative retreat. Going deep inside. Generating insights, new knowledge, amplifying the designer’s intelligence. Sketching and journaling. Embedding the elements in messy skin. Revisiting friends and conversations left unfinished. Small peaceful villages in the land of wood carving artists. Painters. Architecture endless. Agriculture. Where chocolate grows. Simplicity in the highest complexity. An adopted home. An intuition. A design decision. Hati Hati. @design.dharma stories.

Learned something recently about sentiment mapping as a self-coaching tool. Alongside journaling it’s distilling the writing into keywords and mapping over time. Then I found this piece of Miguel Ruiz through @tinaessmaker. Voilá.

If you live in a past dream, you don't enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is. There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive.

Conversa no TALHO

May 24, 2012

This week I was speaking at Conversas XIII no TALHO (an old butcher shop!) informal talks with interesting creatives.Titled "Everything You Do is About People" (a phrase of Chairman Khun Chai that stuck with me) I shared the amazing Doi Tung Sustainable Development Project in Chiang Rai, Thailand, that I was lucky experience.
