Living Deliberately: Thoreau's Wisdom for a Changing World (OLLI)


Course number : PL114   

« back to classes page
What does it mean to live deliberately in an age of uncertainty and rapid change? More than the author of Walden, Henry David Thoreau was a keen observer of nature, a penetrating social critic, and one of America's most original spiritual thinkers. In this six-session course, we will explore how his insights on simplicity, attention, freedom, conscience, and the natural world illuminate enduring questions of meaning, purpose, resilience, and hope. Drawing on Thoreau's writings, contemporary scholarship, and traditional wisdom, our conversations will discover why Thoreau's vision remains both challenging and deeply relevant for living deliberately, thoughtfully, and fully today.
