Awe is more than a moment of wonder—it’s a powerful feeling and tool for connection and growth. Research shows that experiencing awe, even in everyday life, boosts physical and emotional well-being, strengthens relationships, and helps children develop curiosity, motivation, and emotional regulation.

Join the conversation at noon, and then come have some messy fun in-person with Tracy Patton at 5:30.
