Making Meaning in the Modern World

About this event

Our well-being grows when we create, when we connect, and when we know that we matter to other people. Decades of research and thousands of human stories tell us that making and mattering are powerful antidotes to overwhelm and disconnection. Join New York Times bestselling authors Kelly Corrigan (The Middle Place and Tell Me More) and Jennifer Wallace (Never Enough and Mattering) for a conversation about making, mattering, and the simple things that help us build meaningful lives. Drawing from Corrigan’s exploration of creativity and making, and Wallace’s analysis and collection of research on the science of mattering, the evening weaves together personal stories and practical wisdom to explore what helps people flourish. The event features individual talks from each author and an on-stage conversation between the authors and local educators. Come celebrate the simple but powerful idea that the lives we build together are shaped by both what we make and by knowing that we matter. This event is supported by the Walton Family Foundation.
