All humans hunger to live a productive, meaningful life - one that transcends drifting along, "just getting by," creating and living in mediocrity. Distinct from other motivational workshops which emphasize skills, tactics, or pop gimmicks, this course will investigate the theory and practice of cognitive behavior therapy to develop the qualities of character conducive to achieving the results one desires in life. Topics will include: Unconditional Personal
Responsibility; Passionate Purpose; Fearlessness; Interpersonal Intelligence; and Mental Muscle; and Harmony at Home.

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) represents a watershed event in Western history, marking the initial "call to arms" against fascism. In this course we will examine the masterpieces spawned by the Spanish Civil War and glean specific insights into the "story" of this war. Our subjects for study include Ernest Hemingway's For whom the Bell Tolls, the art and life of Pablo Picasso with emphasis on the painting Guernica, and Rafael Alberti's poetic collection Capital de la Gloria (to be read in translation.)

"The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato" (Alfred North Whitehead, Process and Reality, 1929). In this course we will cover the argument for just behavior in our personal life and in the governing of our country. What is justice and how is it more beneficial than injustice? What defines a good person, and how does that person become evil? What is the best government and how does it decline?

Course Description: In this course, Pastor Lehman Bates, seeks to present how Christianity has been used to promote and manipulate racial thought, biases, and behavior. After an introduction to the broader terms, concepts, and constructs necessary, Pastor Bates will narrow his focus each week, covering:
Europe - the Papal Church, the Holy Roman Empire, and the whitewashing of European history.
American racial paradigms within the church and Manifest Destiny.
Virginia - where he will explore the role of indigenous populations, Thomas Jefferson, and race and eugenics, and finally both reported and unreported events of August 12, 2017 in Charlottesville.

This course will highlight our understanding of the aging process with emphasis on cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Participants will take a virtual biking trip across Europe from the comfort of their own chair, at their own pace - even if that is just sitting still. We will discuss willpower, health behavior, the connections between pleasure and happiness, and the role of each in a good life. Finally, we will discuss the role of genetics and epigenetics in positive aging.
NOTE: This course meets on five consecutive days.

Course Description: Much is known about the many roles Thomas Jefferson played in this country's development. Far less is known about his years in Europe, primarily France, and the impact of his experiences there. The course will begin with Jefferson's departure for Europe. We will follow his experiences and travels through both France and Europe, hoping to see "Jefferson's Paris."
