Courses – Courses may vary in price, time of class, and number of meetings. Nominal prices are charged for classes to compensate instructors for transportation and parking expenses incurred.

Discussion Groups – Facilitated discussion group are conducted, often in conjunction with a video or film that is watched. We are always looking for volunteers, such as retired teachers, to help facilitate group discussions.
