for
spacetime🌀
building a temporal atlas
of the relationships between
space, time, and the felt experience
a 1-hr virtual workshop with Olivia Vagelos and The Design for Feelings Studio
next session:
October 22nd at 9 am Pacific
what does it feel like to stand in a moment that stretches like taffy?
To cross a room and feel the distance change,
while you seem to return somewhere long forgotten?
To be both here,
and elsewhere, in the same breath?
In this series, we'll begin each session with a single relationship of spacetime.
We’ll feel around it—poke its edges, stretch its ligaments,
meander through its landscapes.
This is not about synthesis.
Not about convergence or discovering a unifying theory of spacetime.
It’s about staying inside the complexity—
the layered relationships between space and time and our own feelings,
the subjectivity, the beauty, the quiet strangeness
of how we experience the world.
We’ll move slowly.
Sit with the contradictions.
Notice the connections that only emerge when you stop trying to force them.
And together, we’ll map a fragment of the Temporal Atlas—
one that lives as much in sensation as in thought.
🌘 What to expect 🌘
unhurried exploration, open-ended conversation, no pressure to resolve.
📝 What to bring 📝
nothing to prepare—just yourself, on time, from a computer, ready to wander with us.
how folks leave feeling...

about Olivia Vagelos and the Studio
Hi, I'm Olivia.
I'm an experience designer, facilitator, and the founder of The Design for Feelings Studio. Previous to studio life, I was a long time IDEO’er and Stanford d.school’er.
I create spaces for people to find the strange-beautiful parts of themselves that have been left behind, to imagine and move differently, and to meet one another in new ways — all through immersive workshops, interactive events, and multi-sensory experiences.
My work blends story, behavioral psychology, architecture, learning, and play to design interactions and experiences that change us.
I love helping people make whatever they’re making more memorable, more meaningful, more beautiful, and more chaotically and curiously weird.
The robots may be here, but that means we need wild-wild-humaning more than ever.
