About
How do we move from chaos to clarity — not by erasing complexity, but by shaping it? In classical Jiangnan gardens, the path forward is never a straight line. Stones are scattered underfoot, trees bend the view, and walls borrow distant mountains to complete the scene. What appears at first glance as disorder is, in truth, a carefully orchestrated invitation — one that slows your stride, sharpens your attention, and reveals an underlying coherence that was always there. Scattered Stones, Ordered Mind is an exploration of that philosophy — and an invitation to use it. Across this month-long Ink & Insight program, we’ll learn how ancient design principles of gardens, painting, poetry, and calligraphy can reshape the way we think, lead, and create in a complex world. This is not about imposing control; it’s about learning to design with disorder, transforming scatter into structure and confusion into cadence.
