SPARKING AWE AND WONDER THROUGH POETRY
Monday, July 13, 1:00-2:00 pm – Author and Psychology Today blogger Val Walker shares how moments of awe and wonder—from nature to music to everyday experiences—can spark our curiosity and keep us interested in exploring new experiences. In short, wonder and curiosity increase our brain health (plasticity). Through awe-inspiring poetry and personal stories, and a fascinating bit of neuroscience, learn how wonder supports connection, meaning, and healthy aging. We will read poetry from Rumi, Mary Oliver, Wendell Berry and others—and attendees are welcome to share their own stories of wondrous moments.
