“Warmth is a connecting principle.”

– Pema Chödrön

The goal of Transcendent Experience Design (ZX) is for people to experience the necessary warmth of connection - with one another, the living earth, and the cosmos.

“The harmful consequences of a lack of connection can be felt in our schools, workplaces, and organizations”

– Vivek H. Murthy, M.D., U.S. Surgeon General

“Warmth is a connecting principle. Somehow the barriers come down when warmth is involved.”

– Pema Chödrön

Cultures around the world know the principles of human connection by the same name; “warmth.”

Science, religions, and philosophy all teach that warmth is highly prioritized by the biological brain and spiritual heart alike.

Yet, the design of our modern worlds focusses too much on the individual.

To often, the human in “human-centered design” is really just this one human, just this one time.
