The Art of Noticing

What if the extraordinary is already here, waiting to be noticed?

In this talk, Poonam invites audiences into the subtle, powerful practice of noticing. Drawing from somatic awareness, creativity, and embodied presence, she explores how presence and attunesment itself can become a pathway to healing, reconnection, and creative awakening.

The Art of Noticing is an invitation to slow down enough to truly see again. To soften the urgency to produce, fix, or become, and instead enter into a more intimate relationship with life as it is. It is a remembering that the ordinary is never empty, it is already alive with richness, texture, and intelligence.

During the talk she will guide you through her journey of:

  • Noticing as a somatic and creative practice

  • The intelligence of the senses

  • The body as a gateway to presence and awareness

  • Slowing down as a radical act in a fast world

  • Creativity emerging through attention, not effort

  • Relearning how to see, feel, and listen

  • The richness of the ordinary and overlooked

  • The space between stimulus and response

  • Attention as care, devotion, and relationship

  • Returning to life through embodied presence

    Participants will leave with a renewed relationship to their attention, a deeper sense of presence, and practical ways to begin noticing more beauty, depth, and aliveness in everyday life.
