The Joys and Perils of Curiosity
$20.00
Have you ever noticed how your whole body gets involved when you are curious about something? What is the neuroscience of curiosity, and when is curiosity healthy, and when is it unhealthy? Join Sarah for a 90-min webinar exploring the research into this tantalizing subject, and discover how resonance can make our expressions of curiosity more life-serving.
This is primarily a learning and neuroscience content webinar, including a small number of actionable insights and healing process work. If you are seeking healing and resonance practice opportunities, please see Sarah’s upcoming courses here
Curiosity and a hunger for knowledge, information or experience are very alive, but often criticized, as in the old proverb, “Curiosity killed the cat.” We are often hooked by our curiosity, the dopamine hunger for the next revelation, the next episode, the next scene in a thriller, the next puppy video on our cell phones, and we end up getting less sleep than we need, or not getting out for that health-giving walk. Curiosity can also bring us to a place of discovery and delight with one another, or can make people feel like they are under a microscope. What is the best path to making our curiosity as healthy and life-serving as possible?
In this 90-minute webinar with Sarah Peyton, we will look at the research into curiosity, how it shows up in the brain, and how to use this knowledge to improve our lives and make us less prone to being “hooked.”
