The hosts will introduce key concepts from Thoreau's work, followed by an open dialogue. Some potential discussion prompts include: What would it mean to structure society around Thoreau’s concept of “gifts” and his notion of “preservative care”?  Do you ever “saunter,” and how does that differ from hiking or purposeful walking?  How can we reconcile personal ethics with societal laws? Thoreau often champions a life of simplicity. In what ways does simplifying our lives influence our ability to pursue our dreams and live authentically?52065 DTSTAMP:20241226T222931 DTSTART:20241101T143000 DTEND:20241101T153000 LOCATION:Hughes Rotunda, Ralph C.
