Within our experience of wonder, when we encounter something beautiful, there is almost something transcendent about it. On this week’s episode, we explore with Fr. Brian Larkin, host of the Gregorian Rant podcast, the spiritual components to beauty and wonder, and how it can speak to our deepest desires. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Just like we know in our world that if you stand for truth, there’s going to be a battle. If you stand for goodness, there’s going to be a battle. We oftentimes don’t think we have to battle for beauty…but we do. There’s a lot of ugliness in the world, and we don’t just have to appreciate beauty, we actually have to fight for it. We have to be willing to sacrifice for it.” -Fr. Brian Larkin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We are the first generation to have access to our genome data. Our genomes make up the story and wonderment of who we are as human species.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Combining information from human genomes with poetic visualization, Lynn Fellman combines art and story to illuminate the beauty and benefit of evolutionary science.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this episode we learn:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-How some genes have codes for extra sensory powers and could reveal rare life-enhancing mutations that only you possess
-The story and evolution of “jumping genes” and how this can be used as a tool for gene discovery in cancer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m giving my 💯 today. That looks like sweat pants, barely showered, just cried, recording on the couch, and an 8 minute episode kind of day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In all honesty, I’ve been struggling lately. Struggling with my health. And subsequently I start questioning my value, when all I can “give” and “do” seems so little. Do you ever feel like that?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reflecting on this past month and on this podcast, there’s something I tend to forget about wonder…it’s simplicity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“You can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Often beautiful things are beautiful because they’re fully “being” who and what they are. There’s nothing complex about just “being.” No crazy agendas or expectations. And yet, sometimes being “useless” has incredible value (as we talked about in episode 2).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week our episode is more of a mini, unscripted and unedited reflection on just that: wonder’s simplicity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simplicity requires patience, whether that be forced upon you from life’s challenges, or whether you choose to embrace it amidst your busyness. Be patient with yourself, and find a wonder this week based on its simplicity. (Mine was watching the clouds during my car ride to the doctor
☁️ ). Let simplicity teach you that once again, you don’t have to always “do” to have value.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Meet Ava through the eyes of her sister, Ashlyn Frederick, Executive Director at The Mission Project for adults with developmental disabilities. Ava has Down Syndrome, the most common chromosomal disorder in the U.S. Ava lives life with constant wonder, teaching us to celebrate our achievements and never give up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“We should all have courage to do something that we want to, regardless of how small it seems—and find joy in that and be brave. That’s what Ava and other children and adults with disabilities have taught me.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Through the eyes is how many of us begin the incredible encounter with the wonders of the world. The miracle of vision is one of the greatest gifts we have as humans; and yet, our eyes do much more than simply see things. Dr. Charles Yancey takes us through the wonders of one of the most complex organisms in our body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We'll learn why:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. The eye is the fastest muscle in our body⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. How visual eye puzzles and tricks work⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Why so much of our brain is devoted to our eyes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. What being nearsighted or farsighted and 20/20 vision actually means⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Whether everyone has blindspots in their vision⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. How the brain compensates for those who have sight impairments⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"The eye is so complex and it has so many different disciplines in it. Let's just say it has physics with optics. It has incredibly complex neurobiology. It is integrated with so many different systems in our body. And it's just so complex that I can't imagine how that would ever have come without design.” -Dr. Charles Yancey⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you're overwhelmed or unmotivated by thinking your home has to be on the next cover of "Better Homes and Gardens," then this podcast episode is for you! (Yes men, you too).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We'll answer questions like: How do we elevate mundane tasks in our homes? How do beautiful spaces affect us? How has the value of homemaking changed in today's society?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We'll also explore how "shopping small" can help us pass along the stories and lived experiences of others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mary Sarah, owner of , a small shop online and in Littleton, Colorado, speaks to how we can elevate our mundane daily tasks and rediscover wonder and purpose in our homes and in the lost art of homemaking.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Beautiful. Practical. Handcrafted." This is the vision of The Olive Branch, which hopes to reveal the beauty found in the ordinary through thoughtfully made, beautiful goods for the home - made by the people who surround us and sharing their stories - so that every good is a sign that we belong to each other.

I think we've found our third host with this amazing guest! "The Psychology of Wonder (Part 2)" with Dr. Daniel McClure is out now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! On this episode we explore how beauty is used in clinical treatment, beauty's relationship with mental health, human suffering, and whether it's successful in art and music therapy. We also reveal how experiencing awe can change our human behaviors and better equip us to adapt and take risks in life.

“Beauty isn’t just for artists or those who have time to go to the Opera. No. Beauty is necessary. It’s also accessible to all of us.” - Dr. Daniel McClure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Part 2 of our conversation with Psychologist Dr. Daniel McClure will be coming out TOMORROW on Wonder Wednesday!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On this episode we explore:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Our core emotions and how they cause us to experience or avoid reality⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. How to be vulnerable in a way that brings about healing⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. How we can re-encounter beautiful things with a renewed sense of newness

08/09/2021

New episode posted! With Psychologist Dr. Daniel McClure, we explore how beauty is relational. Diving into our attachment styles, we learn how we all live with insecurities in our relationships. We discuss how beauty and encounters with wonder can help us face our insecurities and reveal to us our inherent value, helping us "live like we mean it!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We examine:
1. Is beauty considered a psychological "need" for humans?
2. What's going on in our brains when we experience beauty?
3. What's the relationship between beauty and our attachments (i.e. where we go when we are emotionally distressed)?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check out "The Psychology of Wonder (part 1) on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and awaketowonder(dot)com. We couldn't contain all the wisdom, so part 2 of our conversation will be posted next week!

In episodes 1 & 2 we gave you a challenge: spend an entire minute engrossed in the beautiful object you see before you—a flower, a sunset, etc.—before you take out your phone and snap a photo. Wonder is a momentary experience, and you can never re-live it. This is your reminder to be fully present today, in case beauty decides to pay you a visit.

“Who is Jonathan?” You see my face (Angela) on here and hear my voice on every episode…and then occasionally you’ll be graced with the mysterious and soothing deep vocals of Jonathan. He loves wonder & beauty. He is a philosophy & humanities buff and connector of great guests. And he pops in and out dropping truth bombs as he pleases. So whatever you want to call him, a “guest co-host”, an “occasional special guest”, “that guy that thought fruits & veggies were grown in a grocery store”, or “that voice that soothes you into calm contemplation”, he’s here on Awake to Wonder to surprise you with wisdom from time to time. You’ll hear him more on our end of the month “minisode” reflections held on the last Wonder Wednesday of each month. In the words of Jonathan’s coffee mug, “no problama llama” 👋 Another episode of Awake to Wonder is out tomorrow!

TOMORROW! We have our first guest, Joe Beckman!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Awe happens when something is SO VAST that it’s hard to fit into our current way of thinking. We will speak with Joe Beckman on the wonders of toast, clouds, puddles, and 5 life-saving phrases every kid...no...every human needs to hear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"If you want to be truly happy, keep that little kid inside of you alive. Grow up, move forward, take risks, accept new challenges. And at the same time, don't forget to play and dance and jump in puddles and make shapes out of clouds. You can still build maturity, but live enthusiastically in wonder and awe."

23/08/2021

It’s part of our human nature to put things we can’t control in “boxes” so they’re more manageable. This can sometimes look like putting the blame for life’s current circumstances on a particular group or person. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first step to receiving Wonder is to be open to what reality is telling and showing you. Have a disposition of openness—listening before seeking an explanation. This “poverty of spirit” will fill us with new understanding and help us adapt to our ever changing environments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you agree? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s true about humanity is how much we lack. We are always seeking, and always searching to be fulfilled. Try to be attune to this the next time you experience something truly beautiful. What “lack” do you experience deep down in that moment of wonder?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why Wonder: Putting on a beginner’s lens

Behind the Scenes: Awake to Wonder Podcast

Take 102 🎬 *cut! All I can say is thank goodness we’re not live. Check out behind the scenes of our first couple of episodes. (We’ll get better I promise 🤪…though I can’t help but think that talking into a microphone into the abyss will always feel insanely awkward). Next Wednesday (August 18th) we launch! 🚀

Surprise! We’re actually giving you a podcast teaser a week ahead of our launch! On Wednesday, you can hear our very first intro episode. It will be your first chance to hear what to expect in the podcast, as well as your first opportunity to hit “subscribe” so you don’t miss when our first episodes post! Tune back here in 2 days for the link to the trailer, or go to www.awaketowonder.com & sign up to have it sent to your email. Wonder awaits! ✨

PODCAST VIDEO TRAILER RELEASED!!!! I wanted to show the world how much we should be attune to the wonder all around us. Wonder isn’t seen only in beautiful landscapes, like a sunset, but in other unspoken moments we don’t stop and savor—like the joy bursting from the smile of a stranger, a long term committed couple holding hands, a choral note ringing out in an empty church….What can these moments teach us? What’s the mystery hidden beneath this beauty? How can allowing space to wonder help fulfill some of our deepest desires and lead us towards finding Truth? All this and more on the Awake to Wonder Podcast launching in 11 days! (Aug. 18th). Thank you to the talented @reversemechanic (aka my husband) who helped create the lyrics to this intro song that captures the build and excitement my heart feels in every moment of awe.
