SONS OF NORWAY TROLL LOUNGE

A public conversation about when, why and how we PAUSE with Andrea Baumgardner, chef + owner, BernBaum’s, and John Lamb, Variety reporter, Forum Communications.

If you had no day-to-day distractions or obligations, what would you pay attention to or pursue? What would you explore or reflect on or (not) do if you could mute your e-mail, social media accounts, cell phone and TV for a day or a week or a month or a year? What global developments and local stories have been trumped by 24-hour candidate coverage this campaign season? As a country, what percentage of our public conversations do we dedicate to reflecting on our common history or planning for our collective future?
