SUMMARY:𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐃𝐢𝐱𝐨𝐧)
DESCRIPTION:This little talk translates Plato’s cave scene into a more up to date view of the difficulties we encounter in attempting to “go beyond” or to transcend the knowledge provided more directly by the senses. By more graphically picturing the human mind’s freedom\, we may come to understand more easily why some people don’t agree with us.

DESCRIPTION:Hearthstone School has been a longtime presence in Rappahannock County\, offering an alternative educational philosophy compared to public schools. Three of the Hearthstone staff will relate the founding and history of the school\, as well as the essentials of Waldorf education. The topic should be of special interest to members of UUBRidge\, as we have had our home at Hearthstone for over 12 years.

SUMMARY:𝐕𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦—𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲? (𝐋𝐞𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧)
DESCRIPTION:Lee will make the case that vegetarianism is now a human necessity. In the past it has been a free choice in most cultures. Today\, the global consequences of not being a vegetarian culture are much too dire to ignore. \nBy the year 2025\, two years from now\, 2 of every 3 humans on earth will not have enough fresh water to drink. The methane gas animals put into our atmosphere\, coupled with the greenhouse gasses produced by the use of fossil fuels to transport and refrigerate the meat\, contributes to melting the ice caps that give us fresh water. It’s all tied together ecologically. We are in crisis mode.

SUMMARY:𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 (𝐊𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧)
DESCRIPTION:Spring Equinox is a time to reconnect to Earth\, in all her budding glory. One way of doing this is through the growing of green things and reconnecting to the food we eat. Instead of centering our worship around a sermon\, we will be performing a seed planting ceremony to honor our connections with Earth and the Equinox. Please feel free to bring seeds to swap!

DESCRIPTION:“My mission to change the narrative of mental health\,” a video from TED\, was a welcome reminder that mental health has become a subject we feel able to talk about more freely. Some people in public life\, such as Sen. John Fetterman\, have led the way by talking about their own struggles\, and that has helped to reduce the stigma of seeking help. Despite the progress\, do we have a much longer way to go?

SUMMARY:𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐆𝐨 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐥\, 𝑨 𝑻𝒆𝒅-𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒌 (𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲𝐧 𝐁𝐲𝐧𝐮𝐦)
DESCRIPTION:Today’s world\, with its daily examples of greed\, self-interest\, and cruelty\, can be frightening. Some of this fear\, which can veer toward despair\, arises from our perception that there is nothing individuals can do to push back on behalf of a kinder world. This video\, by the head of TED\, Chris Anderson\, points to a way.

DESCRIPTION:Books are being taken off the shelves in libraries\, and even rainbows are banned from a Virginia school system. We will address the question\, “What’s Going On?” as it relates to our civic life\, and we will explore the role of religion – the good and the bad – as we try to figure out what we can do in response to “What’s Going On?”

DESCRIPTION:A divorce and career-oriented life left David Brooks feeling empty and alone. He realized he had fallen for lies our culture tells us about finding fulfilment\, lies which have been largely responsible for a “social and relational crisis” in our country. In this TED Talk video\, Brooks combines his own story of recovery from despair with advocacy for social renewal\, through groups such as the Weavers organization\, which he chairs.

SUMMARY:𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐯𝐬. 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 (Lee Simon)
DESCRIPTION:Mankind has been grappling with sexuality since the days of the cave men and women. It’s testosterone and hormones versus morals and taboos and laws. Probably every approach to it has been tried\, with a wide variety of approaches. There are no universal answers. We don’t even have the right questions.

SUMMARY:𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐎-𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 (Kit Goldfarb)

SUMMARY:The Nordic ‘Well-Being State’ (Will Daniels)
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, we speak\, usually negatively\, of the welfare state. In the Nordic countries of Denmark\, Finland\, Iceland\, Norway\, and Sweden\, the same two words\, ‘welfare state\,’ capture the very purpose of national government: spreading welfare equally among all citizens. Can the U.S. take a page from the Nordics and begin to reverse our increasing inequality?
