Exploring Awe, Discussion and Friendship

$10

with Jerry King

Calendar Oct 8, 2025 at 9:30 am, runs for 5 weeks

Co-facilitator: Roger Breisch

(Repeat from spring) Explore the various types of experiences which provoke us emotionally, are mysterious, and difficult to put into words. Experiences that cause us to wonder, and remind us that life is expansive. They hold promise that the passing of years notwithstanding, there is always a "child within", and a possibility of being ever young. We will meet for five sessions. The first session will be dedicated to an overview of the discussion process, and to get acquainted. Each of the following four sessions will be dedicated to exploring two categories of the Wonders of Life. Participants will be encouraged to bring personal stories and examples to show and share the experiences that delight them, and provoke wonder.
