  • Gardening for Nongardeners

  • This session will share gardening essentials for people who are interested in gardening but have little experience with or formal knowledge about how to design, plant, and maintain a home garden. It will help attendees consider what kind of gardener they aspire to be and what considerations go into becoming that type of gardener. Some gardeners grow food, some are oriented to the environment, some focus on ornamental designs, some sell plants, some are hybrids. Each type has its own sensibilities and accompanying gardening practices. Attendees should emerge with a better understanding of gardening for specific purposes, tastes, and outcomes.

  • The Longing for Home: A Spiritual Journey with C. S. Lewis

  • What is this ache we feel for something beyond ourselves – a nostalgia stirred by childhood memories, a beauty glimpsed but never grasped, a joy laced with sorrow, a place we've never been yet somehow remember? C. S. Lewis called it Sehnsucht – a deep longing for something both unknown and intimately familiar. In this series, guided by the wisdom of Lewis and other masters of sacred imagination, we will explore this terrain of the soul – through story and memory – and trace the source of this yearning which calls us home to that joy we were made for.

  • The Art of Deep Listening

  • Deep listening is critical for developing respectful and caring relationships yet is often an underdeveloped skill. As elder mentors, we have a unique opportunity to serve as wise mentors to younger family members but often default to "giving advice" instead of truly listening. Practiced well, the act of listening with our full attention allows us to probe issues raised by the speaker, surface frames of reference and assumptions, and help open new possibilities. In this presentation-workshop, participants will learn the basics of deep listening and practice these skills in pairs.
