The Science of Awe (A Wellbeing Ambassadors Community Meeting)

Join the Wellbeing Ambassadors for a session with ORSEL to explore the science of awe: Why do certain experiences give us goosebumps or move us to tears? The emotion of awe shows up in many religious traditions, but it’s also a fundamental human experience that connects us no matter what we may or may not believe. Come learn what wow moments do for our wellbeing, and pick up some ideas for connecting to the awe in your own life.
