Celebration of the Senses Day

Senses Day is an intriguing holiday that reminds us of the richness of our sensory experiences. While we perceive the world through our senses, we often take them for granted. Senses Day encourages us to explore and appreciate the variety of sensations that shape our daily lives.

History

This unique holiday was created by Thomas and Ruth Roy of Wellcat Holidays. They believe that stimulating all five senses—sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste—on this day can awaken a 6th sense! This may lead to an extraordinary experience or a deeper connection with the world around you. Whether or not you believe in extrasensory perception, this celebration offers a chance to step beyond the ordinary and explore new perspectives.

Interesting Facts

You may already know about the dominant types of perception:

• Visual: People who primarily process information through sight.
• Auditory: Those who learn best through hearing.
• Kinesthetic: Individuals who rely on touch, smell, and taste.

In the digital age, a new type has emerged:

• Digital: People who absorb information effectively online and build internal dialogues to process it.

How to Take Part

Take time to explore your dominant type of perception and experiment with others:

• If you are primarily a visual learner, try blindfolding yourself for an hour or two and observe how you interact with the world.
• If you are an auditory learner, engage in an activity that uses only visual cues or hands-on learning without verbal guidance.
• Share your experience on social media using the hashtag #CelebrationOfTheSenses and inspire others to explore their sensory perceptions.
