Do you have a deep source of wisdom available to you, but one to which you seldom listen? For centuries mystics have confounded their companions with wisdom from an unknown source. Socrates taught us: "The unexamined life is not worth living." The Buddha taught us to contact The Source through meditation. And Jesus said, "He who has eyes to see and ears to hear better use them." In this class we will learn how to recognize, learn from, and share our "peak experiences."

Each week we'll view a feature-length documentary or two shorter films. The films will generally feature a performer or composer, the impact of their environment on their music, and the impact of their music on other musicians and on society. Or the focus might be on a style of music from swing to country, jazz to rock. This is a class for the open-minded and intellectually curious because, paraphrasing Mick Jagger, you might not always hear what you like, but sometimes you just might like what you hear.
