SUMMARY:Great Books\, Great Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Location: via Zoom\n\n\n\nMembers and guests – Free! \nThis ongoing Village discussion group meets online the first Wednesday of each month to discuss a selection of short readings from an anthology published by The Great Books Foundation. Although the group has been meeting for years\, they are very welcoming to new members! \nBeginning in December of 2023\, the group will be reading from the anthology Imperfect Ideal: Utopian and Dystopian Visions. These short\, engaging readings illustrate the best and worst of what can happen when we attempt to mold the complex communities in which we live into our vision of a perfect state. All 23 selections in this anthology challenge readers to question how society should be structured and governed\, as well as what kinds of communities are most conducive to human fulfillment\, both privately and in the civic arena. The readings are sure to spark conversations that are relevant to current events in our city\, nation and world. \n

SUMMARY:Health Hub: Seasonal Changes\, Brain & Body
DESCRIPTION:Members & guests- free! RSVP below to register for this virtual program. \nHealth hub is a program that meets monthly via Zoom to learn about and discuss important or interesting topics about health or wellbeing. \nDo you sleep better when it’s cold out? Or experience emotional shifts like the “winter blues?” These experiences are not coincidental. Researchers have identified physical changes in the brain that occur with seasonal transitions. This month\, we will explore those changes and the symptoms that may accompany them. Our discussion will cover the effects on both the brain and body\, focusing on topics such as sleep\, hydration\, memory\, and more. We will also delve into strategies to manage and embrace these changes as we enter the colder winter months.
