An essential experience in an increasingly isolated world

I was lucky enough to receive an education in living the Good Life following an extended period of pandemic-related isolation. There couldn't have been a better way to restore my faith in humanity and the joy of human connection than this program. The professors, staff, and fellow students have a unique joie de vivre and an insuperable capacity for empathy. The program encourages connection with others, a re-connection with nature, and a deeper engagement with oneself through creative and collaborative activities, intellectual discussions, trips into the Maine wilderness, and a radical reconsideration of our societal habits, both modern and ancient. I'll carry the experience with me for as long as I live.
