0.00Courage. Imagination. Resilience. These are some of the gifts of your primal intelligence, the ancient part of your brain that's drained by
computers and screens — but energized by camp and nature. In this virtual book club for Primal Intelligence, led by the author, you'll learn
how to assess your primal intelligence — and how to help young people reconnect with it. Primal Intelligence, an instant national bestseller,
is based on research that has been called "mind-blowing" by Malcolm Gladwell, "life-changing" by Brene Brown, and "wow" by Rick Rubin.
Why You Should Attend
Define primal intelligence and assess your own levels.
Understand how screen time drains primal intelligence and how outdoor settings restore it.
Gain practical ways to help youth disconnect from screens and recharge in nature.
