This is a shared class with South Coast Senior College

6:00pm  news troubling?  Think the culture's coarse? Our moral compass lost? What are our own personal core values? How do we arrive at them? A review and discussion of how to sustain a civil society in the realm of social harmony and fairness. Contemporary iLssues (social welfare, addiction, parental rights, education and aging well) viewed against a consideration of the methods for ethical decision-making. Recognizing ethics dilemmas in everyday life (whether right vs. wrong or right vs. right). Let's all discover if we're ethically fit!

Lorraine Masure’s many years of leading senior college courses across four campuses have included the discussion of philosophies and themes expressed and interpreted though the transformative power of music and lyricism.  The times dictate a closer assessment of how humans best live, hence, of ethics, based on Rushworth M. Kidder’s work, How Good People Make Tough Choices. An indispensable resource for spotting, understanding, and resolving our toughest decisions.  Come, share your own views! 

Students will meet at various outdoor locations to paint in the fast drying media of their choice.  The various outdoor locations will be determined at each class.  The first class will meet at Laurel Hill Cemetary, Saco, ME.  Venues and materials will be discussed with each student by phone prior to the first class.

Caring for the Future...Youth and Elders in Dialogue for a Healthy Planet.

This is the second pilot gathering where a small international group of youth and elders will come together to discover collective and individual paths leading to a healthy planet.  We'll explore what we are individually good at, what work needs to be done, and what brings us joy.  Whatever your age, if you have a desire to find, together with others, a climate action that can be brought to life in your individual circumstances...then this gathering is for you.
