Awetheism Part 1: The Power and Promise of Awe ~ Speaker: JD Stillwater

Sometimes, we become awestruck like the flash of a lightning bolt. New
research into the experience of awe reveals that awe makes us feel small but
deeply connected, and how this in turn makes us better people. With help
from some well-timed lightning strikes (and no help from Siri or Alexa), we’ll
explore what’s known about awe’s effects on us, and how it can benefit
humanity. We’ll also learn how science can help us experience awe, plugging
us into a grander vision of our larger selves within our communities, world,
and universe.
