Wellness | The Wonder of Mindfulness: A Neuroscience Perspective
Saturday April 19, 2025 2:15pm - 3:15pm EDT
Common House North Room
Children are practically walking bundles of wonder—but as adults, we seem to forget what it’s like to be awestruck by the world. So, what happened to that sense of wonder? Is it possible to rediscover it, or are we doomed to a lifetime of jaded sighs? In this session, we’ll explore how neuroscience offers some hopeful answers, showing us how our brains reshape themselves in real time based on our experiences. If science can explain how we lose our ability to experience wonder, maybe it can also guide us back to those moments of awe. With a bit of mindful curiosity, we might just find our way to rediscover the reverie of wonder.
