These 3 or 4 meeting classes are introductions to each topic. Details
about other topics and the full versions are here.
Classes meet once a week from 7 pm to 8:30 pm. They have seven
to fourteen students, and last 1 ½ hours. There are no teachers;
instead, students rotate as facilitators, guiding the discussion based
on provided materials. During the class, students review and evaluate
the ideas presented in the readings, using the guidelines provided for
each meeting. Each class begins with an activity, in which students
have the chance to reflect on fundamental questions, and share personal
experiences and views. Readings, which take one to two hours, should
be completed before each class meeting.
It's not necessary to register, but to ensure a place you can sign up here, or call us at 563-5634. Classes are free, but there is a possible donation of $3 per meeting, which includes photocopies of readings. Additional information and sign up sheets are also available at Huzanity School, which is located at 640 West 36th Avenue.
