About the book

Come to Your Senses introduces senses-based learning through 23 step-by-step exercises, designable learning units, and activities that re-balance the role of seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and feeling in education and work.

It offers clear guidance for integrating sensory awareness into existing curricula and informal learning settings, supporting course design, workshops, and research methods across disciplines.
