The Awe Exchange

“We anchor change-making in our shared capacity to experience awe. We develop awe-based tools for change-makers to reimagine the possible, to foster collective action rooted in curiosity and wonder… Awe is an emotion of overwhelming wonder, admiration, respect, or fear elicited by something grand, sublime, or extremely powerful. It involves a sense of bewilderment, astonishment, and transcendence in the face of something that defies our usual frames of reference. Awe makes us feel small in comparison to the vastness of the universe, yet also connected to forces larger than ourselves.”
