Established Goals

We intend for learners to explore:

• The six flavors of curiosity as an energy for learning

• A more nuanced relationship between violence, vulnerability, and building what's possible

• How questions shape stories and meaning

• The role of curiosity in expanding possibility

• A more nuanced connection between mortality, suffering, and vibrant living

1. What if curiosity is not a behavior or trait, but an energy we channel?

2. How does violence shape the questions we are afraid to ask?

3. What does it mean to be human in a world we do not understand?

4. When darkness becomes unbearable, what makes vulnerability a worthy risk?

5. What is the relationship between comedy and tragedy, laughter and loss?

6. How do we build ourselves as our own imaginary friend?

7. What if "mattering" is about the texture of Tuesday morning?

8. Are you willing to surpass the given?

9. How can death and destruction be transformed into engines for curiosity?

10. What happens if technology can be used to create intimate conversation?

We intend for learners to understand that:

U1: Curiosity functions as an energy for expanding consciousness and sense of meaning.

U2: There are at least six distinct Curiosity Archetypes representing different ways humans channel curiosity.

U3: Violence and vulnerability may exist on a spectrum of human responses to fear and disconnection.

U4: Vibrant questions emerge from lived experience and create spaces for aliveness.

U5: Learning requires something old to die—a willingness to try on new ideas like hats.

U6: Comedy and education share a foundation in processing experience through levity.

We intend for learners to know:

K1: The six Curiosity Archetypes: Observer, Seeker, Artist, Storyteller, Strategist, Coddiwompler

K4: The relationship between storytelling and the spectrum from agony to ecstasy in the human experience

K5: How questions function as a learning compass

We intend for learners to be able to:

S1: Identify their dominant Curiosity Archetype and practice moving between archetypes

S2: Experience the power in vulnerable, face-to-face conversation about difficult topics

S3: Explore storytelling as an instrument for processing experiences

S4: Practice trying on ideas like hats—testing perspectives without permanent commitment

S5: Create spaces where others can build themselves as their own imaginary friends

S6: Live the Atelier—translate nutritious learning experiences into daily practices
