Class periods will open with a short prompt based on the senses which students will be welcome to read aloud. By week four, students will turn in a story draft, and we will divide into groups to workshop stories, focusing on what the writer has accomplished and where the work sparks curiosity or confusion.

Introduction to Winter Bird Watching - In-Person
Instructor: Elena Ulev Course Tuition: $80.00
Schedule: Wednesdays, 1/15/2025 - 2/19/2025, 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Maximum Students: 20
Many birds migrate south for the winter, but many interesting ones remain in Montana, making it an enjoyable time of year to birdwatch. Plus, there are no leaves on the trees and shrubs, so the birds are easier to spot. Some species that we may see include flocks of red crossbills, Clark’s nutcrackers, rough-legged hawks, and owls. We will also discuss how to attract birds to your yard year-round. This course will be a combination of interactive classroom presentations to learn the basics of birding by sight and by sound followed by time in the field. You will leave this course with a greater understanding of how to watch and listen to birds and how to entice them to your yard.
Registration begins Monday, November 25. You will not be able to add any courses, offerings or events to your cart until that date.

Instructor: Kathy Mangan Course Tuition: $85.00
Schedule: Fridays, 1/17/2025 - 2/21/2025, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Do you know how some of us can be done with what we have been doing and not done with having an impact? Some people of a certain age refer to this as “failing at retirement” but it can also happen at a much earlier age. The life transition of retirement can be a huge opportunity to discover and act on bringing to life what we may have been putting off, sometimes for decades. This 6-week journey will help uncover and articulate the second act so many of us are ready for. Expect homework to help move the process along as well as great discussions with fellow travelers.
