In a world built on speed, separation, and distraction, what happens when we pause long enough to feel the world again?
Writer and researcher Virginia Vigliar explores what it means to live with attention, to move with awe, and to reclaim the quiet power of connection.
Known for her sensorial essays and poetic activism, Virginia speaks of “soft deconditioning” as a gentle rebellion against systems that keep us numb. She invites us to notice what’s already here: joy in the cracks, magic in the mundane, and the voice that returns when we finally make space for it.
Together, we explore:
• Why attention is a form of resistance in an overstimulated world
• How awe reawakens our humanity
• Storytelling as a tool for deconditioning and collective healing
• The importance of building spaces for connection and expression
• Moving beyond binaries into rhythm, nuance, and relational depth
This is not a conversation about gender, polarity, or ideology — it’s a living inquiry into what emerges when we let go of old categories and begin to listen differently.
