What is spirituality, and how can it help you feel more grounded, connected, and at peace? In this session you will explore spirituality not as dogma, but as the lived experience of presence, meaning, and wholeness. You will discover why the quiet gap between looking fine on the outside and feeling whole inside often creates restlessness and anxiety — and how spirituality offers a path back to yourself. We will look at the subtle ways disconnection shows up in daily life, from saying yes when you mean no to living for approval, and how these patterns weaken the bond with your own truth. You will learn simple yet powerful practices to return to center, including solitude with intention, boundary scripts that protect your emotional energy, and symbolic rituals that anchor presence in daily life. You will also hear the difference between religion and spirituality, and how redefining your practices can lead to genuine connection rather than obligation. Finally, we will explore a journaling reflection that helps you listen back to yourself and uncover what spirituality means uniquely for you. With insights from neuroscience and psychology, this practice reveals how strengthening your inner connection not only brings peace, but also reduces the anxiety that often arises when that connection is lost.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
