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.
