Sense Beauty is a platform for sensory practice that allows us to live into our dreams of a healthier world.
As a practice, Sense Beauty uses media to create and offer accessible tools for healing.
Through immersive film, media, and spaces, Sense Beauty reconnects us to our ancestral ecologies. These experiences target and heal lineage trauma while engaging community — a hybrid of film, installation, and participatory ritual.
Sense Beauty is a multi-faceted portal aimed at transforming our relationship to our bodies, our dreams, and the world around us.
Seeking the intersections between sensuality and liberation, Sense Beauty reminds us, we deserve to live well, and we deserve to both imagine and actively create non-exploitative ways of being.

Dear Living, Breathing, Beautiful being,
I want to tell you a little bit more about ‘Sense Beauty’, what it means to me, and how it came to life.
I’ve been thinking for some time now about connection, and the ways that contemporary life keeps us disconnected from the depth of sensory experiences that make life rich. This manifests in all aspects of life—in our relationships with others, our own bodies, the earth that carries us, and even with the objects and material goods that sustain us.
Disconnection feeds hyper-consumption, and we fall deeper into the longing for a fantasy of beauty fed to us by social media, influencers, and Pinterest boards. As a resident Pisces and daydreamer whose main goal as of late has been to remain present in my body, I am learning that in order for fantasy to become reality, sacrifice is required. Sacrifice, not in the common understanding of the word, but in its original meaning—to make sacred.
In the cosmic order, in order to make something sacred requires offering an appeasement in order for it to manifest. Under capitalism, we are so used to taking and exploiting our environment without giving back. We have created such an inherent disharmony in how we relate to the world around us. In order rectify this, we must learn reciprocity, understanding, and rediscover joy in sustainable care practices.
Sense Beauty brings together my learning from years of practice as an artist, nerd, facilitator, somatics practitioner, and storyteller. It is a multi-layered and multi-dimensional offering—a framework and a practice that I hope will help us deepen together and embody new ways of life that are sensuous, liberating, and sweet.
I’m happy to have you here, and grateful to have your trust in this process as we stumble gracefully towards harmonious ways of being.
Sincerely,
Reva Santo

OVERVIEW Through community dialogue, sensory/somatic teachings, and an ethically curated marketplace, sense beauty is a multi-faceted portal aimed at transforming our relationship to our bodies, our dreams, and the world around us. Sense Beauty seeks the intersections between sensuality and liberatory practice. We deserve to live well, and we deserve to both imagine and actively create non-exploitative experiences of luxury.

DREAMWORK offers creative consulting, mentorship, and community dialogue.
Part of resensitizing to life is learning how to be in reality. This means engaging with our dreams in a way that brings us back to the physical world—How do we feed our dreams for a future world and come to see tangible results? What are the steps that will help us get there? How can we find balance across the various aspects of our lives? How can we build grow, and dream while remaining in integrity?

SENSEWORK offers support in reconnecting to your body and a deeper sensory experience. This portal includes live offerings, an archive of reiki, stretching, movement workshops, sound healing, and somatics courses, as well as well as meditation practices for you to work with on-demand.
Our bodies are our best resource for self-awareness. This portal is to help guide your physical and emotional healing so that you can reconnect with the vibrancy and fullness of your human experience.
- MARKETPLACE features curated objects that match the Sense Beauty Standard of ethics. Each one is connected to a sacred story and source.
In Ifa cosmology Aje [the orisa of wealth and abundance] is the daughter of Olokún [the orisa of the deep ocean who holds wisdom, depth, and mysteries]. Without depth, we do not get to experience abundance. This marketplace honors Aje tishomo Olokun. May we practice engaging with beauty and abundance through depth. We have taken the time to understand the source of each of these products, and have made sure that it meets our standards as ethical and non-exploitative in material and labor practice.
