Energy in motion —Wonder is a meditation on life’s ups and downs — where the only constant is change

An invitation to embrace our vision to expand the senses and unify each other, bringing peace & Wonder to extraordinary spaces.

Wonder begets wonder at Malmesbury Abbey in Wiltshire, England

Created & crafted by celebrated artist & inventor Tom Lawton FRSA, Wonder is a vision five years in the making. From philosophy, through meditation and movement comes the pinnacle of human expression, the unfolding creative spirit. Original & bold, consistent & calm.

Wonder began with a quest — the desire to create the most relaxing object in the world. The result, is quite simply… out of this world!

“Wonder is perhaps the greatest ever expression of Heraclitus’s insight that ‘the only constant is change’ — it is a masterpiece in motion” — Dr Iain McGilchrist

“Utterly spellbinding” — Norman Cook (Fat Boy Slim)

Testimonials

“Wonder has begun its simple yet complex journey of weaving our hearts together globally. Two young girls were in the shop yesterday, one was transfixed upon Wonder. I asked her how it made her FEEL? She stated ‘peaceful’. In this day and age, this is one of the greatest gifts we can offer people, a means of returning home to their true north, themself! Into their own bodies. I am honoured to be another node in a giant web Wonder is beginning to weave. It’s light, it’s vibrational and its silent yet profound presence has so much to teach us and our awakening hearts.”

Kelly Brown - Qigong teacher and owner of InnerLight store in Pittsburgh.
