So what is Ways into Wonder?

It is a not for profit organisation set up is to create an enduring sacred sanctuary in nature, dedicated to igniting the spark of wonder and the art of co-creating transformative experiences as gifts for recipients of all kinds.

An artist’s residency, devoted to experience as art form and the transformative power of giving.

A curated space in a forest somewhere in Europe that invites life itself to be lived as a creative act.

A magical ‘monastery’ for meaningful moments, hosting artists, change-makers and intergenerational collaborators who create and gift the experiences generated there.

It is a world where wonder is cultivated and created as an ongoing practice, in an ever-unfolding culture of moments that move the heart, wake up the imagination and reconnect us to ourselves, each other and to the natural world.

It is a living experiment in creating experiences that nourish the human spirit.

A place where giving becomes a way of becoming.

Because in a world where experiences are so often ephemeral, we are seeking to create a place that endures.

It is time for this work to have a permanent home - and we invite you to help us make that happen.

This is about stage 1 as we embark on our own way to wonder,

from partnership projects to creating the constitution to finding the place itself.
