    Mending What Matters; Louise Jett; 11-May-2025
    May 11 2025
    On Mother’s Day, we’ll reflect on what it means to live (and care) in an imperfect world. In a time when division, cruelty, and unrealistic ideals dominate the headlines, Humanism offers something grounding: the courage to repair, the strength to hope, and the wisdom to know that mending what matters is sacred work. Louise will explore how Humanist values guide us through brokenness, help us hold space for growth, and invite us to show up (with compassion and courage) even when the stitching isn't straight. All are welcome, wherever you are on your ethical journey.

    Prison Education at Saint Louis University; Paul Lynch, PhD; 6-Apr-2025
    Apr 6 2025
    The Saint Louis University Prison Education was founded in 2007 at the Eastern Reception and Diagnostic Correction Center in Bonne Terre, MO. Since then, it has reached over 4,500 incarcerated individuals through an accredited associate of arts Program, an arts program, and a college preparatory program. The Program has transformed the lives of many men, some of whom are not continuing their education at SLU. But it has also transformed the educators who have had the privilege of teaching our incarcerated students. Paul Lynch, a long-time teacher and former Program director, will speak about his own transformative experience.

    Framing the Unimaginable: Ethics in the Anthropocene; Rev. Dr. David Breeden; 16-Mar-2025
    Mar 16 2025
    Felix Adler believed that philosophy should speak to everyone, not only scholars. At its heart, ontology—the study of being—is about exploring what it means to exist and how we find our place in the world. For Adler, this exploration was the foundation of ethical Humanism, a philosophy grounded in naturalism, reason, and empathy. These values help us understand reality and navigate moral choices with compassion and thoughtfulness, essential tools for facing the Anthropocene.

    More Than Just Trails: Reimagining Greenway Impacts; Emma Klues; 9-Mar-2025
    Mar 9 2025
    Great Rivers Greenway, your regional public agency connecting together three counties with greenway trails, turns 25 this year! Hear about how a greenway is brought to life with and for our communities, and how the agency has evolved over their first 25 years, deepening their impact and exploring what else greenways can do for our region. Join us in imagining how building civic trust, transparent processes, environmental dedication, equitable economic impact, choices for active living, connected communities, public art and more can make the difference between a nice amenity and a critical piece of community infrastructure with long-lasting impact. But the question remains, how do you bring this bold vision to life across 3 counties and 120 towns of varying means and capacities in a thoughtful way?
