Eat With Your Ears

Session

Weds

Immersive experiences are too often reduced to screens. To create lasting, mind-shifting states, we must engage more than sight. Vision is overloaded; sound—one of our fastest, most immediate channels—cuts through the noise. Eating is our most intimate ritual; for millennia, shared meals have anchored memory, community, and meaning. In a world shaped by algorithms, we still choose what passes our lips—the last bastion of radical agency.

When taste and sound interact, perception changes. Audio can modulate flavor, influence texture, and reshape how we map taste.

Join Caroline for a delicious, high-velocity dive into perception and sensory awakening. Learn practical tools to unlock memory, heighten awareness, and calibrate a new mind–body axis.
