"This... you know, this word 'interest'... I think it's French. It means 'inter–' (between) 'esse' (beings), you know? Interest is everything. I feel as if interest between... the bee and the flower, between lover and beloved, between plants and sunlight... I mean, it's all interest... everything is occurring between beings. Maybe this betweenness is one of the faces of God—the potency of this betweenness, the depth of this betweenness..."

– Li-Young Lee on THE CREATION FILES podcast (2016)

Discover the revolutionary idea that interest—far from merely being a human emotion—functions as a fundamental force woven into the fabric of existence itself. In this thought-provoking talk, we wade into how interest operates as the invisible architect of reality, from subatomic particles forming connections to cosmic structures organizing themselves across vast expanses of space and time.

Compelling examples from biology, psychology, physics, and philosophy help us to see how interest precedes attention, drives evolution, forms the basis of consciousness, and creates the connections that sustain life. We'll examine how curiosity provides evolutionary advantages, how environments and species engage in mutual "interest relationships", and how consciousness might be conceptualized as sustained, embodied interest.

Beyond theory, this talk suggests practical applications for harnessing the power of interest in education, environmental stewardship, and personal fulfillment.

This might just transform how you perceive the forces shaping our realities and change how you direct your attention in a world competing for your interest.

FEAR vs INTUITION: Learning to Trust Your Inner Wisdom

This interactive 2-day, 4-hour webinar helps takers develop the ability to distinguish between fear-based reactions and authentic intuition. Participants will learn practical techniques to recognize their internal signals and build greater self-trust.

FvI addresses the common challenge that the sensations of fear and intuition often manifest in the same physical location—"the gut"—causing confusion when we try to follow the common advice to "trust your gut" without having learned to recognize the distinct qualities of intuitive guidance.

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 broader cultural phenomena, investigating the shenanigans of public schadenfreude; social media as judge, jury, and executioner; the "online disinhibition" effect; the dehumanization of celebrity, and more.
