During the summertime, when the Society does not hold regular Sunday meetings, we do have an occasional "Colloquy" meeting. This is a more intimate participative experience -- many describe it as quiet, inspiring, calming, thoughtful.

 We are holding these meetings in the summer of 2009 at Green Hedges School (see "Directions" link in the top banner), in the Arts building (a small house across the parking lot from the main school building), in the lounge room in the basement.

Different volunteers, or our Leader Jone Lewis, lead each session, and the topic is different each time. In July, for instance, the topic was "simplicity" -- and we explored that in all its complexity.

Please join us and try out a Colloquy!
