THE SLAP: Object Lessons in Trauma Response, Myopia, and the Certainty of Uncertainty

This is a self-paced, multi-module Alchemical Courses™ Better Humaning™ series that invites us to contemplate how we perceive, think about, and emotionally engage with the moments we encounter and choose to embrace. It encourages us to bear honest witness to our mental and emotional processes, equips us with tools for enhancing perspective, and unlocks new ways of experiencing human connections with insight, integrity, and empathy.

Yes, this intensive uses, as its frame, what transpired in March 2022 between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards (as well as ensuing events and public discourse), but we'll go well below the surface—and beyond that incident—to investigate the shenanigans of public schadenfreude; social media as judge, jury, and executioner; the "online disinhibition" effect; the dehumanization of celebrity, and more.
