CURRENT PROGRAMS

Healing America’s Narratives: The Feminine, the Masculine, & Our Collective National Shadow
This program emerged through the book by the same name, published in 2022, and has been taught at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Connecticut’s Waterbury campus during the Spring 2024 and the Fall and Spring 2025 semesters. For more information about the Healing America’s Narratives initiative, please visit https://healingamericasnarratives.com/.

Enough With the Talking Points: Doing More Good Than Harm in Conversation
This program emerged through the 16-part series of essays that appear on this site (posted February-May, 2019), that evolved into a book by the same name, published in 2020, and that has been offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Connecticut’s Waterbury campus.  The book and the course address what might be called the lost art of civil conversation – how we might disagree (and agree) without the insult, sweeping generalizations and lack of respect that currently characterize much of our communication.

Poetry From the Heart and for the Soul in Troubled Times
A fear-releasing, guaranteed-you-can-do-it introduction to writing poems. While experienced poets are welcome, this program is designed for those who would like to begin.
