DON’T DELAY JOY (H355)

H – Literature

Explore the deeper meaning of true joy through poems, short stories, music and videos as well as optional sharing of our own personal experiences. We’ll also discuss the various aspects of joy, and how it can be accompanied by both grief and hope. How is joy an antidote to despair, a “reenchantment” of our lives, or even a counter-cultural act? Our course title is the motto for the nonprofit arts and culture organization, Carousel of Happiness, a joyful, healing place in Nederland, Colorado.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
