Join us for a cross-cultural\, multi-generational dialogue as we explore how we might tap into the power of everyday awe. Book club-style conversation led by Dr. David Craig and artist Rachel Hellmann. \nDacher Keltner has spent his career studying emotions such happiness\, gratitude\, and awe. His research\, and the research of others\, shows how messy human emotions are\, in fact\, messy for a reason. Humans evolved a complex range of emotions — including gratitude and awe — to help us find connections that exist between our individual selves and our communities. As Keltner writes in The Gratitude Project\, “Gratitude depends on the humble dependence on others.” And\, in Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How it Can Transform Your Life\, he writes\, “Awe enables us to see the systems underlying the wonders of life and locate ourselves in relation to them.” This discussion invites attendees to explore these connections. \nQuestions?: Contact 317-274-2426 or festival@iu.edu. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between IU Indianapolis Department of Religious Studies\, Senior Academy of IU Indianapolis\, and Indianapolis Muslim Community Association. \nRegistration: Register by using the blue button below.

Our event invites you to learn about and explore how different cultures express gratitude through interactive vignettes and meaningful conversation. \n“Gratitude” seems simple enough\, but when you layer in different cultural interpretations\, it becomes far more nuanced than one might expect. A politeness learned from an early age in one cultural setting may be seen as rudeness in another. In three short vignettes\, audience members will experience scenes from different cultures illustrating various ways gratitude may be expressed. At one point the scene will freeze and a narrator will invite the audience into the scene\, first by asking what they saw then by engaging the various actors (who will remain in character) in dialogue. The audience will have an opportunity to experience how different communities view gratitude and its expression while building their own cultural competencies. \nQuestions?: Contact 317-531-6299 or gkelley@bez613.org. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between Congregation Beth-El Zedeck\, IU Indianapolis Department of World Languages and Cultures\, and Alley Theatre Company. \nRegistration: Walk-in guests are welcome\, but registration is encouraged.
