Our mindset is not free as such – we live in a frame of reference of human norms and values. That supports us and enables a functioning coexistence. Not everything has to be negotiated anew. There are manners and customs that give us an orientation in our European-Swiss sociological and cultural context.
When we go on holidays, we notice that it is all relative, a different wind is blowing and that is not just about the climate but also relational: hospitality, bargaining, etiquette, women’s rights, religious belief systems. It can seem strange at first but also adventurous and freeing to step out of our success-minded surroundings.
These questions won’t just stay in our head but will initialize movement in our bodies as we dance to new rhythms and experiment with the fragrance of the far-away worlds.
