Janet Vickers “Infinite Power”
Oct 16 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Janet Vickers will read from her second trade book of poems – Infinite Power (Ekstasis 2016). Infinite power, in her eyes “is not a zero sum game but a journey / a stone thrown in a lake”. The danger of our age is that we have lost contact with that power, made it something to possess like a personal bank account. In writing these poems she hopes for a reconnection to that sacred universal relationship.

Misty MacDuffee “Raincoast Conservation Foundation: Protecting Habitat”
Oct 23 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

Raincoast Conservation Foundation was our September Capital Connects recipient. Hear about their work on salmon conservation and how salmon are a foundation species for BC’s coastal ecosystems. Helping to conserve them fits into Raincoast’s big picture goals to protect the magnificent predator-prey relationships that exist on BC’s coast, especially regarding grizzly bears.

Dr. Dana L. Seaborn “Going Home: Thoughts on Aging and Dying”
Oct 30 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

The start of church year is traditionally ‘Homecoming Sunday’ in Unitarian-Universalist churches. As we age, we come closer to what’s been called the final homecoming. How do we as UUs deal with the challenges of old age? Can we view death with equanimity? Dana Lynn Seaborn will share the wisdom of our predecessors, as well as some entertaining stories and irreverent thoughts.

Ben Dolf “How then shall we live?”
Nov 13 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

From time to time, we reflect on where we stand and where we want to go. But right away we run into a common obstacle: if a new path were obvious, we would have chosen it long ago. Ben Dolf will attempt to bring some new perspectives in the hope of opening new horizons. These may enable us to take a fresh look at how people and organisations of goodwill can support each other and the community in the coming years of upheaval and uncertainty.

Peter Scales “The Conversation Project”
Nov 20 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

The Conversation Project helps people talk about their wishes for end-of-life care. Too many people are dying in a way they wouldn’t choose, and too many of their loved ones are left feeling bereaved, guilty and uncertain. It’s time to transform our culture so we shift from not talking about dying to talking about it. It’s time to share the way we want to live at the end of our lives. And it’s time to communicate about the kind of care we want and don’t want for ourselves. The place for this to begin is at the kitchen table—not in the intensive care unit—with the people we love, before it’s too late.
