7:00 pm – 8:00 pm | Back to the Future: The Power of Nostalgia
Nostalgia is more than a longing for the past—it’s a psychological tool that fosters optimism, cultivates a sense of belonging, and propels us forward. Little wonder that young people are drawn to the pre-digital era and older folks take comfort in the music and other cultural touchstones of their youth. Science reveals thoughtful nostalgia to be a grounding force that allows us to make meaning from the present and guides us wisely into the future. It reminds us of the enduring values on which we build our lives and assures us that we can flourish in times of change.
