Additional details
In an overstimulating world, our nervous system is constantly trained to notice triggers – danger, urgency, comparison – more easily than tenderness, beauty or rest. In this talk, Serena Malaspina explores Koorsoo as a daily practice: learning to spot tiny glimmers of hope in cinema, photography, video and in the smallest details of ordinary life. Through stories, images and simple somatic and mindfulness tools, the audience will be invited to gently re-educate their gaze: from hypervigilance and overwhelm to a more grounded way of being present, where small things become anchors of meaning, connection and quiet joy.
