My eyes became trained to track maturation characteristics, form and function.  Once I began exploring INNER SPACE with a microscope, my vision, beliefs, and curiosity changed  ' I started first looking at living human cells, then peering into the magic of our molecules, and then wine. Over time  I began seeing that our cells and molecules reveal information that is more than biology and science.   The design, beauty and geometries of our molecules led me into my life long exploration of what intelligence is hidden in our cells and molecules, and do they carry metaphysical messages. We are more than we think. WINE captured my attention when I was artist in residence for Sterling Vineyards in the 1980s and have been tracking Hidden spirits ever since. My foray into wine and taste took me deep into microscopic forms that revealed a visual language of taste.  This website serves as a place to share with you the inspiring beauty that is within us and to offer the practical wisdom hidden in our cells (and wine), and to inspire you to think differently. My first book Wine's Hidden Beauty  explores the inner life of wine and our senses.  Getting into the world of wine came as an unexpected gift.  Way back when I was a scientist at UCSF and giving slide shows to children with cancer, of the amazing beauty of  cells and molecules,  I was invited to interview at Sterling Vineyards in the Napa Valley for their artist-in-residence program.  For the interview I photographed my first wine ' the winemaker said that the photograph 'looked like the wine tasted\" and the rest is history.  I fell in love with the grape, vineyard and wine from inside out and continue to learn and be in awe of winegrowers who create such masterful gifts. I wear several hats:  Medical scientist, mindbody health educator, author and photographer, I explore the intersections between the material world of cells  and molecules with mysticism and spirituality. Once I shifted from only using my intellect to experiencing our invisible world as sacred and intelligent, I leaped into interpreting that our cells carried practical teachings useful for life. I have taught at mainstream medical organizations ' University of California Medical School, Stanford, Children's Cancer Study Group, California Pacific Medical Center, Kaiser Hospitals, Sutter Health ' as well as non-mainstream and non-medical venues including Esalen Institute, IONS and Earthrise Retreat Center, Lawrence Hall of Science, and California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS).  My unconventional journey took me from a hard-core research scientist on the faculty at UCSF to delivering programs about the healing wisdom of our cells and hidden beauty in wine."},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["Barrett, Sondra"]},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by Sondra Barrett in the <a href=\"https://find.sonomalibrary.org/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=%22Barrett%2C+Sondra%22&te=&rt=false%7C%7C%7CAuthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">library catalog</a>"},{"label":"Author Website","value":"View <a href=\"https://sondrabarrett.com/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personal or professional website</a> for Sondra Barrett"},{"label":"Search Author in Open Library","value":"Search for works by Sondra Barrett in <a href=\"https://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=Barrett+Sondra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Library</a>"},{"label":"Sort Title","value":"Sondra Barrett"},{"label":"Significant Title","value":"Secrets of your cells : discovering your body's inner intelligence"},{"label":"Digital Archives Identifier","value":"sondra_barrett"},{"label":"Digital Archives Collection Name(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Date Added","value":"2015/12/03"},{"label":"Filename","value":"sondra_barrett.jpg"},{"label":"Title","value":"Sondra Barrett"},{"label":"Item Type","value":["Text"]},{"label":"Item Format or Genre","value":["Biography files","Bibliographies"]},{"label":"Search SC Local Arts for this Author or Artist","value":"<a href=\"https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?filter_363=sondra_barrett&applyState=true\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sondra Barrett</a>"},{"label":"Collection(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Author Name (Controlled)","value":["Sondra Barrett"]}],"description":"Sondra Barrett","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/61385c6f-2b56-4013-b790-b2714a7c73c9/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"Sondra Barrett","height":299,"width":450,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/61385c6f-2b56-4013-b790-b2714a7c73c9/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/61385c6f-2b56-4013-b790-b2714a7c73c9","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1]}]},"height":299,"width":450},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/61385c6f-2b56-4013-b790-b2714a7c73c9/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/61385c6f-2b56-4013-b790-b2714a7c73c9/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/61385c6f-2b56-4013-b790-b2714a7c73c9/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/logo"}
