Zoom Workshops   

A workshop for all interested in sharing their images, whether photographs or paintings. Each session will view and discuss the images with the goal of achieving effective images. All skill levels welcome. Look, laugh and learn.

In this workshop we will learn about Near Death Experiences (NDE’s) and Near Death Like or Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STE’s). We will listen to different speakers that will share about their NDE’s and STE’s. When we have a speaker join us, there will be time for Q and A, insights and feedback after our speaker shares. We will come to understand how their life journeys were altered through these extraordinary life changing events. We will discover how these experiences have changed them for the better. We will also explore some of the obstacle's these people have gone through as a result of their NDE’s and STE’s and have overcome. We will come to an understanding of how these obstacles have eventually been a catalyst for them to be able to live their life in a more authentic and purposeful way. We will explore together as group what we have learned from these NDE’s and STE’s. We will discuss how their experiences have been transformative and how these people then go on to help others to understand that we are much more than just our physical existence. We will discuss the implications of such experiences on society as a whole. We will also discuss how these Extraordinary Experiences are life changing, not only for the NDE and STE Experiencers, but also for the many that hear their stories. I hope you can join us as we delve into this fascinating topic of Spiritually Transformative Experiences and Near Death Experiences and how knowing and learning about these experiences can change our world for the better.

At the beginning of this course, we will explore a brief overview of the origins of our Long Island Native Americans – where they come from and how they get here. Following that we will delve into where they settled on Long Island and explore their rich history and culture. We’ll learn about their crafts, skills, daily life, and societal traditions, and the impact of European settlement on their communities—a story of resilience, innovation, and enduring legacy. Finally, we’ll learn of their current day communities on Long Island and their activities.

This workshop will read and discuss inscriptions and epigraphic writings from the Roman world. This is non-literary Latin, the writing that was not published--or read--in ancient books.

We will look at the actual Latin-sometimes the actual stones-and learn some tricks for deciphering them, but everything will be translated.

The focus will be on those personal/public messages and what they tell us about Roman life. All material will be available here at epigraphyatolli.pbworks.com. which will be updated each week by the Thursday following the session.

Join us and discover the last farewell of a cross-section of Romans.
