Our After-Sessions in July are all about “The Good Life:  Lessons From the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness”, a book by Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz discussing a study that began before either of them were born – 1938 – and has continued ever since.  We will be discussing that study’s findings on what makes a good life.  I hope you will join us for these sessions!

Since the book just came out in January, it’s hard to find used copies, but you can order it from bookstores.  You also can just come and enjoy the sessions. Another shortcut for you is Robert Waldinger’s TED talk, just 12 ½ minutes, at https://www.ted.com/talks/robert_waldinger_what_makes_a_good_life_lessons_from_the_longest_study_on_happiness/c

We look forward to seeing you Sunday so we can get started on discussing a fascinating study and hopefully learning something about, and for, ourselves!

A free retreat and gathering of the community to speak up for affordable housing through poetry and storytelling.

Special guests: McTate Stroman II, Poet and Christopher Logan, Community Organizer. These two guys are so gifted and will be drawing out some of our best voices and perspectives to humanize our stories around housing.  Let’s gather to put the heart and our best creative expression to our experiences around housing.
