To say we are excited about our spring term would be an understatement. We are positively wowed by the subjects on tap, from explorations of war, peace and refuge, to deep dives into America in the sixties, the pioneering women of abstract expressionism, the obsessions of history's greatest composers (think love, drugs, and war), and much more. Check out courses here and sign up to join us.

Come celebrate the start of our spring term at a Happy Hour on Tuesday, Apr. 2, 3:30–6 PM, at Zino (2086 Allston Way, Berkeley) in the Hotel Shattuck. This is a great opportunity meet and make friends new and old. All are welcome! This is a no-host (but yes-fun!) gathering organized by OLLI's Member Services Committee. No need to RSVP. Hope to see you there!

Thursday, Apr. 4, 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM (PT)

Most difficult conversations include a "my story" and "the other person's story" — a situation that inevitably sets us up for conflict. What if we could skillfully conduct these conversations from a "third story?" — a narrative that includes not just facts, but what those facts mean to us; not simply "what happened or should happen" but how we feel about it? Join us for the next OLLI @Berkeley Vital Aging Forum as guest speaker Annette Segal shares strategies about how to discuss what matters most.

April 19

Another election year is here and, with it, all the anxiety of wondering how things will turn out in the end. It’s easy to feel helpless about the outcome, but one way to turn anxiety into empowerment is to become engaged with the political process. This OLLI @Berkeley Town Hall will offer constructive strategies for how to engage with politics in ways that allow us to feel both helpful and hopeful. Come learn how to shed apathy and despair for empowerment and empathy. Facilitated by Berkeley professor Darren Zook.
