ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I use workshopping as a way to deepen some of the explorations of this book so far, in particular what it means to notice as part of sensory education. This chapter focuses on a particular aspect of the social nature of this experience, looking at learning in small groups and gatherings in workshops. The chapter begins by delving into the growing trend in cooking classes as a prime example of this, where participants are taught to better appreciate not only cooking techniques but also tasting, smelling, feeling food. I also look at attention workshops for medical students, then at how insights from these might feed into ways to think about teaching and doing research in academia, how such sites could also be seen as sites of sensory lesson where arts of noticing are cultivated as a transformative event.
