Leaning into Awe & Wonder

Looking to improve physical and mental health, reduce stress, calm your nervous system, expand your perception, and reduce personal frustrations and worries? Join School Counselors Ann Van Buskirk and Katie Polanco at 8:45 am on March 25th for Coffee with the Counselors to explore the power of awe and wonder. We’ll discuss how to help children find beauty from the eagle’s vast bird’s-eye perspective, as well as how to emulate the snail and see the beauty in every inch. 

Leaning into awe and wonder allows our brains to shift into a "small self” state, where personal worries fade, and we become connected to something bigger than ourselves, fostering humility, gratitude, and unity. As Maria Montessori said, “We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe, and we are connected together to form one whole unity.”
