Ray Travers “Living Well at Nature’s Pace.”
Sep 14 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Imagine the good life without runaway climate change, degraded forests, but with a strong economy that can fund our education and health care. Cultures adapted to the natural world, live well at nature’s pace, and  Canadians must learn how to do the same.

Susanne Garmsen “Deaf Culture.”
Sep 28 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

The Deaf community has its own culture which many of us know little about. Keeping in mind the First Unitarian Universalist Principle: “The inherent worth and dignity of every person”, let us learn more about the factual circumstances in which many Deaf community members live; which factors define this community as having its own sub-culture; and the nature of this culture — e.g. who is considered to belong and, surprisingly, who may be excluded; and the positive and negative effects new technology has on this community.
