Episode 9: Lessons from the Wonder Box: How Awe & Wonder Have the Power to Heal

Welcome to the Carousel of Happiness Podcast. On today's episode, host Allie Wagner digs into the Wonder Box, and fishes out some of your questions and musings about life, love, joy, and peace. We’ll discuss the healing power of wonder and awe – how it connects us to one another, the world around us, and something larger than ourselves. We’ll learn how awe improves our physiology, our communities, and our overall well-being. We’ll explore how we’re wired for it, and how it propels our evolution by putting us in a heightened state of consciousness. Do you have a story to share?
