Lifelong Learning Institute at Waubonsee Community College

Co-facilitator:  Roger Breisch

What types of experiences provoke us emotionally, are mysterious, and difficult to put into words? Such experiences cause us to wonder, remind us that life is expansive, hold promise that the passing of years notwithstanding, there is always a "child within", 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 getting 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/share the experiences that delight them, provoking wonder.
