WHAT IS SONDER

sonder [son-der]

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own

β€”populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited crazinessβ€”an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

via the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows

It's one thing to experience sonder, it's another to live it.

Our goal for ourselves, and our clients, is to be present in the world as the embodiment of sonder. We want you to feel seen, but we also want you to be able to see others. β€œAfter all, each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member, and an extra in overlapping stories.”
