Using timed writings, we’ll capture “first thoughts” on paper, deepen our connection to the natural beauty of the Monterey Peninsula, and discover the truth within each of us along the way. Class will be held in silence except when reading our work aloud.

Each session includes a silent, short walk or easy hike and ample time for writing, reading aloud, and nonjudgmental listening. Please bring a pen and notebook and wear comfortable walking shoes and clothing suitable for an outdoor class. Recommended reading: Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg.

POETRY AND THE ART OF LISTENINg Instructor: Patrice Vecchione

At a certain point, you say to the woods, to the sea, to the mountains, the world, now I am ready.

Now I will stop and be wholly attentive. - Annie Dillard

For as much as a poem is a thing written down, it’s first of all a heard thing, listening for the heart of the matter. Not necessarily actual conversation but wind through trees or a line from the morning’s paper that won’t let go, the small things that call your name. In order to write a poem the poet listens within and without. We’ll read a number of poems and write all day and in one of the area’s most gorgeous and poetically infused locations, Robinson Jeffers Tor House! For those who consider themselves poets and everyone else. Date: Saturday, Oct. 2 (1 meeting)Time: 9:00am – 3:00pmFee: $50Place: Robinson Jeffers Tor House, Carmel

UNEARTHINg THE PAST: The Prehistory of Monterey BayInstructor: dustin McKenzie

The coast of California was occupied by Native Americans for at least 12,000 years. During this long period, Native cultures adapted to shifts in the natural and cultural environment and achieved levels of complexity rare among hunter-gatherers. Unfortunately, the media infrequently reports on local archaeology and our K-12 education largely dismisses California’s past prior to the mission system.

The focus of this course is on the prehistory of Monterey Bay, from initial habitation by indigenous peoples to the massive changes caused by Spanish colonization. We will investigate data from a number of local archaeological sites from the Monterey Peninsula to Santa Cruz, and beyond. We will visit a local site where we can see and feel the past, discuss ethics, and problems through the construction of archaeological knowledge.

Dates: Fridays, Sept. 17, 24; Oct. 1 (3 meetings)Time: 10:00am – noonFee: $30

MODERN SPIRITUAL MASTERS Instructor: John Provost Where is wisdom to be found? If you want to know the truth about your health, wouldn’t you go to the best doctor possible? And, if you want to have your car repaired, wouldn’t you want the best mechanic? Where would you go to find wisdom? One place to start is to study the great masters of the East and the West. After all, they are the experts. In this latest “Spiritual Masters” series we will study two living masters. First, we will study the Christian monk, Thomas Keating, one of the founders of Contemplative Outreach and the central figure behind the Centering Prayer form of Christian meditation and prayer.

WEATHER AND HURRICANES Instructor: don Mautner

The weather and climate of a region influence our daily lives well beyond determining what clothes we wear each morning. The atmosphere plays a key role in the overall distribution of incoming solar energy, resulting in complex worldwide weather patterns. Topics include: seasonal change, atmospheric stability, air pressure, winds, and global wind circulation patterns; leading to a critical look at Hurricanes, including their origins, internal structure, intensity classification, tracking, and their awesome destructive power.

Date: Friday, Oct. 8 (1 meeting)Time: 9:30 – noonFee: Complimentary – please bring a guest!

CANINES OF THE WILD Instructor: Bruce Elliott

The wild canine species of the New World, past and present, span a fascinating variety of predatory animal species. These range from our familiar California taxa, such as three fox species and the coyote, to more exotic forms such as the two North American wolf species, the dainty Arctic fox and such bizarre dogs as an ant-termite hunting species and a crab-eating fox.

Some of the known fossil forms are especially impressive. One will find it a relief that the huge Dire Wolf of the Pleistocene Epoch is no longer with us. The biology of existing American species will be reviewed as part of this illustrated lecture.

Date: Thursday, Nov. 11 (1 meeting)Time: 6:30 – 8:30pm Fee: $20

INTEgRAL PHILOSOPHYInstructor: John Provost

Is there a way of understanding life that makes any sense in our rapidly changing world? Do the seemingly conflicting ways of understanding our world fit together? Science has long looked for a “Grand Unified Theory”. Is there such a theory in philosophy? Perhaps there is! Integral Philosophy proposes to be a “theory of everything”. It is not so much a new system of thought as it is a new way of organizing and understanding diverse fields of thought. It makes room for everything and it is therefore both universal and inclusive.

Please join John Provost, MPC philosophy instructor, as we explore the world of philosopher Ken Wilber and his work, which is becoming known as Integral Philosophy. We will first explore the history of Integral thought and then study each component of the All Quadrants All Levels (AQAL) model, and we will conclude with a study of the Integral Life Practice.

Dates: Mondays, Sept. 13, 20, 27; Oct. 4, 18, 25; Nov. 1, 8 (8 meetings)Time: noon – 2:00pmPlace: The Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library Fee: $80

THREE WORLDS OF JAZZ: A CULTURAL HISTORYInstructor: William Minor From its inception as a Mom and Pop Store operation, through its evolution into a major musical event with an international reputation, the Monterey Jazz Festival has had the tenacity to remain true to its original vision. In this course, we will examine the Festival’s ability to be what it set out to be via a set of carefully designed principles, and what made and continues to make it unique. We will listen to the music presented over the years and interviews with major musical artists who made that music, yesterday and today. We will also take a look at the Festival’s model educational program.

By way of cultural comparison and contrast, we will explore jazz in the former Soviet Union and Japan and discuss the initial appeal and adoption of jazz, attempts to fuse it with indigenous music, training and performing opportunities for musical artists, and what makes the music of each culture unique.

Dates: Fridays, Oct. 15, 22, 29 (3 meetings)Time: 1:00 – 3:00pmFee: $30 Place: Carmel Foundation (Southeast Corner of 8th and Lincoln, Carmel)

AUTUMN BIRD MIgRATION Instructor: Bruce Elliott

Autumn southward migration by birds is one of the great spectacles of avian life. Our program reviews migratory movement to and through Monterey County. We will examine the mechanics of successful survival of local migrant species, theories on just how they navigate over considerable distances, and varied habitat types for wintering locations south of our U.S. - Mexican border (for some species as far as Argentina). We will also savor a bit of migration afield, in a favorite songbird and waterfowl habitat just south of Carmel.

Our field trip will begin after lunch and will find us at the Carmel River Reserve on the south bank of the Carmel River. There may be cool on-shore winds so carry along a light jacket. Please wear footwear suitable for walking on dirt trails (there are no hills to climb).
