What does human flourishing truly mean beyond productivity, success, or well-being metrics? In this live, experiential workshop, Bhaskar Goswami invites participants into a guided inquiry that moves beyond ideas and into lived understanding. The session offers a rare chance to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what genuinely allows humans to thrive. The workshop unfolds in three intentional phases. First, participants clarify human flourishing through a guided dyadic exchange that explores embodied, personal definitions of flourishing, both individually and collectively. Second, the group identifies what obstructs flourishing through an inquiry that surfaces internal and systemic patterns, assumptions, and pressures that quietly undermine vitality in our lives, work, and institutions. Third, the session concludes with a short, grounded practice that helps participants sense a clear and practical next step toward greater alignment, meaning, and aliveness. This is not a lecture. It is a participatory, reflective experience designed to cultivate clarity, presence, and insight in a short yet powerful format. Because the experience builds progressively, punctuality is essential. Ideal for educators, researchers, students, professionals, and leaders curious about flourishing as a lived reality, not just an abstract ideal.
This lecture presents insights from the international research project Beyond Seeing (2017–2018), initiated by the Goethe-Institut Paris in collaboration with ESMOD Berlin, Institut Français de la Mode (Paris), La Cambre (Brussels), and the Swedish School of Textiles at the University of Borås, together with organizations for the blind and visually impaired.

Turn on the news and you are flooded with news of ever-growing disagreements and conflict often erupting in violence. I argue that as society, we need to learn to deal constructively with differences in viewpoints. But how? As a scientist, I wondered if science could help. I will survey some of the pitfalls science can help us become aware of. I will also draw an outline of concrete steps we can take to have better disagreements. The ultimate hope is that this will help our societies thrive not in spite of, but because of our differences.
