Ode to Sanctuary

In hidden nooks and crannies found,
A marvel of design abounds.
Sensory rooms, a space to sway,
To soothe the mind in every way.
A place to feel, to see, to hear,
A refuge from the digi sphere.
With soft textiles and dim light,
A calming haven, a respite.
Tools and gadgets, oh so fine,
To stimulate and calm the mind.
Sensory play, a path to grow,
In every detail, we’ll bestow.
Let us embrace this sanctuary,
With care, creativity, and mastery.
For in these rooms, our good friends find,
A place to rest, and ease their mind.

How “THOUGHT-FORMS” (1901) bridged synesthesia and mysticism, calendar synaesthetes map time in space, and a light sculpture that plays like a trigger instrument

“Thought-Forms, a strange, beguiling, frequently pretentious, utterly original book first published in 1901, emerged from this ferment of late-Victorian mysticism. It was written by Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater, erstwhile members of the London Theosophical Society alongside Yeats, and it features a stunning sequence of images that illustrate the book’s central argument: emotions, sounds, ideas and events manifest as visual auras.” — Benjamin Breen, Victorian Occultism and the Art of Synesthesia Contents Selected Reads Sensory Entrancement Sensory Resources Chuckles + […]
