The Nearing Lyceum continues Helen and Scott Nearing’s

tradition of Monday night meetings that

served to enlighten and enlarge people’s perspectives on

balanced life of physical work, head work and the

relationship to others. We have a great season ahead of

us at The Good Life Center. To view a full schedule of the 2013
