Event Type

In this 3-session class we will read and discuss Parker Palmer’s book, On the Brink of Everything: Grace, Gravity & Getting Old.  In the book, Palmer looks back on eight decades of his life–on his work as a writer, teacher, and activist–and explores what he’s learning about self and world, inviting readers to explore their own experience.  In the class we will learn, practice and share (if you wish) some journal writing techniques to help us capture significant episodes and attitudes for our own lives. Palmer’s book is available everywhere.  Please read it before the class begins.  Bring a notebook and pen to the class.  Offered by Jo Ann Freer and Ann Foard
