私たちはなぜ、どんなに忙しくとも美術館や音楽会に行き、本を読み、映画館に足を運ぶのでしょうか？ なぜ、旅に出て、人に出会い、心を震わせたいと願うのでしょうか？ 私たちの中には「感性を磨きたい」という衝動のようなものが生まれながらにセットされているのだと思います。

「成果を出すためには自分の感性に蓋をしなければいけない」 「感情を押し殺したほうが効率よく仕事ができる」 「勉強が嫌だという気持ちを捨て、ここまで来た」日々、他者の期待に応えるために自分自身の五感を遠くしてきた方にたくさん出会ってきました。

感覚を遠ざけて生きているうちに、自分の感性や直感を見失い、気づけば自分の好きなことさえわからなくなる。答えがない場所に身を置くと落ち着かなくなる。 そんな経験をされたことがある方もいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか。

これは、「対話室 月々」で行う小さな試みです。 本を読むこと、料理を楽しむこと、音楽を聴くこと、旅に出ること。 自分の五感に感受性を向けて、自分の内側から湧き出る喜びを思い出し、感性を磨き続けたいと願う人同士が繋がる場所を作りたい。

感性を磨き続ける人は、自分の身の回りに散りばめられた美しさを見つけるのが得意になる。 自分の人生の豊かさに気づき、味わえるようになる。 自分自身の直感と感覚を信じて生きていくことが楽しくなる。

自分の感性に戻る時間に興味のある方は、ぜひご一緒しましょう

Why is it that no matter how busy we are, we still go to art museums and concerts, read books, and make our way to the cinema? Why do we long to travel, to meet people, to let our hearts be moved?
I believe that within each of us, something like an impulse to sharpen our sensibility is set from the moment we are born.

"I have to suppress my own sensibility in order to produce results."
"I can work more efficiently if I keep my emotions in check."
"I got this far by letting go of the feeling that I disliked studying."
Over the years, I have met many people who have been distancing themselves from their own five senses in order to meet the expectations of others.

As they continue to live with their senses pushed away, they lose sight of their own sensibility and intuition — and before they know it, they no longer even know what they love. When placed somewhere without a clear answer, they find themselves unable to settle.Perhaps some of you have had an experience like this.

This is a small attempt being made at 対話室 月々.
Reading books. Enjoying cooking. Listening to music. Setting out on a journey. I want to create a place where people who wish to turn their sensitivity toward their own five senses, remember the joy that wells up from within, and continue to refine their sensibility — can come together and connect.

Those who continue to sharpen their sensibility grow skilled at finding the beauty scattered throughout their everyday lives. They become able to notice and savor the richness of their own life. They find joy in living by trusting their own intuition and senses.

If you are interested in taking time to return to your own sensibility, please come and join us.
