Ordinary Magic & The Art of Experience Design (July cohorts)

from $333.00

Ordinary Magic & The Art of Experience Design is a 6 week journey into the craft of making moments that matter.

Before you can design a gathering that moves people, you have to know what it feels like to be moved. So we begin there — with experiences you design for your own life.

You'll create an experience for yourself, then for someone you love. Then for a small group. By the end of the course, you'll have traveled a full arc of the craft — from the most intimate scale to the principles that bring rooms full of people to life. The same design intelligence that makes a perfect evening for one person is what makes a festival feel alive.

This course shows you how those scales connect and provides a framework for creating moments people will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

Over 6 weeks, we'll:

✨ Build the foundations of experience and ritual design from the ground up

✨ Design at three scales — for yourself, for someone you love, and for a group

✨ Work with creative constraints, the architecture of memory, and the elements of surprise and meaning

✨ Discover how intimate design thinking scales into large, unforgettable experiences

By the end, you will:

✨ Have a design framework you can apply to any experience you create — at any scale

✨ Have designed and tested real experiences, not just studied theory

✨ See gatherings, events, and ordinary moments differently than you do today
