What I've learned about transformation design thus far #43

Transcendence can’t be manufactured. It is not a product to be delivered. The designer who claims to guarantee transcendent experiences is either deluded or deceiving.

And yet…

Certain conditions make transcendence more likely. Beauty. Silence. Nature. Challenge. Community. Skilled guidance. Well-designed containers. Remove these conditions, and transcendence becomes rare. Provide them, and transcendence, while never certain, becomes more accessible.
