I believe ‘just enough’ doesn’t necessarily mean we have to ‘give up’ something. But we do have to change. In Spread Studio’s 2025 forecast, I explore the Indigenous wisdom of the Navajo tribe: the “Beauty Way.” To the Navajo people, living in right relationship with the Earth means to “walk in beauty.” With the rise of globalization, humanity has challenged this law and disturbed the equilibrium—not only of the Beauty Way but also of our own beauty as a species. To restore our beauty, we must re-learn Indigenous, earth-centered practices and reconnect with the wisdom of our relationship with “all that is.”
