Winefullness

Wine and lucidity might seem contradictory. In some ways they are, to the extent that, when consumed in quantity, alcohol blurs our conscience. But when used in moderation, wine can become a “perceptual anchor,” an effective means by which to cultivate presence.

The Winefulness Experience is not a conventional tasting—all analysis and commentary and evaluation. Instead, it is guided meditation in which the wine becomes a kind of drishti—a point of focus for our perceptual gaze.

Participants remain in contact with the flow of sensory stimuli that such experiences naturally generate, returning to presence whenever thoughts of past or future draw their attention away.

This Experiences is as unusual as it is engaging, a path towards developing awareness, the most precious resource we can possess.
