In Search of an Autumn Wisdom

  • William & Mary Wren Building, Grammar School Classroom Wiliamsburg, Virginia 23185 United States (map)

What is the wisdom of autumn? What is the wisdom of harvest time, of the waning sun, the coloring trees, the first frosts, the gleaned fields? What is the wisdom of fire? What does the beauty of autumn have to teach us of wisdom in the retiring season of our lives? In this class of informal conversation set in America’s oldest college classroom, where the sons of American founders and American Indians boys once sat and studied together, we ask the age-old questions of life. How are we to live? How shall we be happy? What is the meaning in our time of a true Elder Wisdom?
