Meet with Yo-E at Unlearning Space for lunch. "Unlearning refers to the process of breaking away from what I have already learned and what is already ingrained in my body. Simply put, it is experiencing a new perspective. Things we know in our heads, but are hard to change because they are already ingrained in our bodies; things that are deep in our hearts but cannot be put into action because they are blocked by what we have learned in our heads, and stories hidden in our bodies and minds. How do we look at them and take care of them? It is an attitude and mindset of observing with curiosity whether something can be done."
