Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For any adult, at any age, of any faith or none; many tools also work with a partner, family, class or team. It sits beside Brave Joy, Joy in Motion and Wide Awake.

A sky full of stars, a choir lifting a song, a stranger's quiet courage: moments of awe make the world feel bigger and ourselves more connected to it. A companion to Dacher Keltner's Awe, Jonah Paquette's Awestruck and Monica Parker's The Power of Wonder, this course treats wonder as a skill: the eight kinds of wonder people describe, the way in through openness, curiosity and full attention, and everyday practices with people, in nature, in music, art and the sacred, at life's thresholds, and at work and study.
