Intentional design, architecture, and aesthetic experiences hold enormous potential to address some of the most intractable health and wellbeing issues facing the planet.
Together, we can create new approaches and frameworks that bridge the divides between science and the arts, resulting in impactful solutions.
We invite you to join us on July 25 for this intimate convening of influential thought leaders and innovators, where we will introduce two publications: the Intentional Spaces and Design Roadmap and the Design Insights Guide
This gathering will bring together a diverse group of experts from various fields to help refine the Roadmap‘s messaging, ensuring its reach and impact across academic, policy, and social spheres.
With a focus on strategic communications, the Salon will foster a dynamic exchange of ideas to effectively engage global audiences and inspire action toward creating intentional, transformative spaces in both physical and digital environments.
The event promises to be a pivotal moment in amplifying the Roadmap’s influence and driving its long-term success.

Location

Peter Michael Winery spans nearly 750 acres, encompassing hillside vineyards on Mount St. Helena that reach elevations of 2,000 feet. The property extends downward through forests to the valley floor, where the winery, gardens, and olive orchards are situated. Our exploration of these beautiful vistas and orchard paths will inspire us and foster a collective vision as we refine the Intentional Spaces and Design Roadmap, establishing it as a foundation for neuroarchitecture principles.
Located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, Peter Michael Winery is typically closed to the public. This exclusive event, cordially hosted by Paul and Emily Michael, offers a rare opportunity to explore one of California’s most coveted wine regions.
