From Our New Director

This Spring marks a season of transition for our department. Along with adding new faces, we have allowed a number of our regular Spring programs to lay fallow. We chose this gestational path to ease the transition, ensure we do a few things well, and honor the time and dedication needed to foster nourishing encounters as we get up to speed. Please know that our every effort is directed toward renewing the wellspring of learning, growth, and community that our programming has been for many years. We will undergo a process of reflection, evaluation, and new growth as we plan our Fall program schedule and will resume publication of our upcoming program offering pamphlet in June.

Until then, and if you would like to attend a Spring event, please click here.
