Wisdom: The quality of having experience, knowledge, good judgment
Wising Up: Easier Said Than Done, Easiest Done Together
Several times a year, we focus on a specific Wising Up Anthology and discuss selected readings from it. People are invited to attend any, or all, of the sessions they find of interest—and to bring a friend.
Three years ago, having published our seventeenth Wising Up Anthology, we thought it would be interesting to develop a network of readers across the country who would enjoy exploring together, in real time, some of the major themes we focus on in our anthologies: psychological and social resilience, social justice, immigration and belonging, pluralism in families, illness and meaning, creative aging.
In particular, we wanted to explore how our sense of community shifts when, for a brief while, we take, a musing, reflective stance—even with very charged subjects. What happens when we seek to understand rather than persuade, when we realize that we are all, with all our differences, equally responsible for finding what unites us?
Since then, we have enjoyed numerous successful discussions. Participants leave enlivened, having met new people, gained new insights in ways they wouldn't otherwise. We have as well! We look forward to having you join us.
