The Pruitt Center for Mindfulness and Well-Being at the University of Wisconsin-Superior will host University of California, Berkeley, professor of psychology Dacher Keltner for a free virtual presentation “Awe: Meeting the Crisis of our Times” on Tuesday, April 28, 4:30–6 pm. Awe is the feeling we experience when we encounter vast mysteries we don’t fully understand. We find awe in the eight wonders of life, from moral beauty to music to nature to spiritual epiphany. New research shows that even a brief dose of awe benefits our brains, hearts, and immune systems, counters selfishness and anxiety, and encourages greater sharing, creativity, and sense of common humanity. Join Dacher Keltner to learn about the evolution and neurophysiology of awe, the mental and physical health benefits, and practical approaches to bringing more awe into your daily life. Dacher Keltner is a Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and director…
Resilience isn’t something we’re born with — it’s something we build, moment by moment, as our bodies and minds learn to adapt, heal, and reorganize in the face of challenges we never asked for but survived anyway. Too often, we mistake resilience for grit or willpower, when it’s actually a dynamic interplay between our biology, our environment, and the meaning we make of our experiences. In this talk, we explore the neuroscience of how we rise after hardship, the protective factors that help us not just recover but truly evolve, and the stories that shape our capacity to grow.

Creation Spirituality — A spiritual tradition that reconnects all the dots of everyday life in this generous, creative Universe. Creation Spirituality, with its emphasis on Original Blessing and the four paths of the Via Positiva, Via Negativa, Via Creativa and Via Transformativa, celebrates joy and our sensory/sensual experiences; honors grief, silence and darkness; awakens / acknowledges our creativity and inner artist; and calls us to social and ecological justice. CS provides a vocabulary for naming and framing our lives, and views our spiritual and earthly experiences as one, not as the “sacred and profane.” Drawing inspiration from the mystical traditions of world religions, wisdom of Indigenous peoples, insights from science and cosmology, and the real world experiences of all human and non-human beings, Creation Spirituality invites back into harmony all that has been alienated by dualistic, patriarchal religions and human institutions. Richie Townsend is a musician, tai chi / qigong…
