SUMMARY:Awe: A Spirit & Place Festival Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of this year’s Public Conversation\, take a deep dive into Dacher Keltner’s book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How it Can Transform Your Life. 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.

SUMMARY:The Cultural Construction of Gratitude
DESCRIPTION:While the act of gratitude is universal\, its expression is based on cultural norms. 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.

SUMMARY:Balsa Wood\, a play by Lou Harry
DESCRIPTION:On the road away from rather than toward anything\, Robin finds refuge in the home of Carrie\, an iconoclast with an open heart and an open door\, who provides a place—without judgment—for human strays. An audience-inclusive discussion about unspoken gratitude will follow the performance. \nIntimately staged for a limited number of audience members at each performance\, Balsa Wood centers on characters struggling with their pasts and finding connection with those who\, on the surface\, are different from themselves. Yes\, it has intense moments\, but it also has humor and provides a chance to see through the surfaces of those who seem unfamiliar.\ \nIn a post-performance discussion\, audience members are invited to become part of an open discussion about unspoken gratitude and people they’ve known or witnessed who have done something for others without expectation or acknowledgement. \nDates & Times: Saturday\, Nov. 2 at 3PM & 7PM and Sunday\, Nov. 3 at 3PM. \nQuestions?: Contact 317-990-1698 or caitlin@indyconvergence.org. \nEvent Organizers: A play by Lou Harry produced by Indy Convergence. \nTickets/Registration: Limited seating. Tickets $15 in advance & $20 at the door. Use the blue button below to register.
