Many people report experiences that seem to exceed ordinary explanation: striking dreams, synchronicities, sensed presences, near-death experiences, visions, and children’s memories of previous lives. Are such events simply products of brain chemistry and expectation, or might they suggest that consciousness and reality are stranger than we usually assume? This five-session course offers a thoughtful, accessible introduction to anomalous experience through psychology, religious studies, philosophy, and selected scientific research. We will examine both skeptical and expansive interpretations, consider major researchers and case studies, and ask what these experiences may reveal about the mind, the self, and the nature of reality.

Talking About Climate Change in a Divided World explores the challenges and opportunities of communicating about climate change across political, cultural, and social divides. This one-hour talk examines why facts alone often fail to persuade, how values and identity shape public responses, and what strategies can foster more constructive conversations. Drawing on research in communication, psychology, and public engagement, the session offers practical approaches for discussing climate change in ways that build trust, reduce polarization, and inspire meaningful action across diverse audiences.

Popular OLLI presenter Janice Simon will transport us back in time to a major art brouhaha—when Whistler (1834-1903) took British critic John Ruskin to trial for those damning words about his painting "Nocturne in Black and Gold: Falling Rocket" of 1875; he won his libel suit but was only granted one farthing. What made Whistler's nocturnes, portraits like that of his mother Anna, which he titled “Arrangement in Grey and Black no.1” (1871), and his “Harmony in Blue and Gold: The Peacock Room” (1876-77) so radical will be examined in this lecture. Whistler's art-for-art's sake aesthetic, incorporating musical references, established him as a sought-out portraitist and highly influential painter for contemporaries and future artists. The acclaimed retrospective of Whistler's art at Tate Modern in September will further inform this presentation.
