Classic Delights Book Discussion Wednesday, May 5 at 7 p.m. The book being discussed is: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. A Künstlerroman written in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, Joyce’s fictional alter ego, whose surname alludes to Daedalus, Greek mythology’s consummate craftsman. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe.

Meditation for Inner Peace Friday, May 7 at 7 p.m. How can we find inner peace within ourselves through meditation? Join Bruce Faithwick as he explores the aspect of going within rather than without! He will discuss the blocking out of stressful triggers, that can help us achieve a lasting state of peace. Bruce currently provides workshops and training to groups in the California area where he connects meditation and self development to important aspects of our lives.
