What: CLE:DREAMS
Guides to Increased Consciousness
Swiss psychologist Carl Jung believed that dreams are dramas about unknown parts of ourselves and that their
purpose is to guide us to greater self-knowledge, health and wholeness. This class, which is based on Dr. Raffa’s
book, Dream Theatres of the Soul, will examine the five basic archetypes of the human psyche: the ego, persona,
shadow, animus/anima (unconscious masculine and feminine sides) and Self, our spiritual core. Dr. Raffa will
illustrate how our dreams can give us practical information about our personality and behavior that can make
important contributions to our efforts to grow more psychologically whole and spiritually mature.

What: CLE:THE ADAPTIVE MIND
There is no more important goal than the cultivation of critical thinking and developing an adaptive mind. Thoughts don’t just sit in human minds: they have implications. When we act, we do so based on our beliefs. The question then is – what are we thinking, and how are we acting as a result of that thinking? What is the quality of our thinking? Where is it leading us? Be prepared to look at your thoughts and actions in a way you never have before.
Learn how critical thinking allows us to take command of the thinking we are doing so as to improve our
communications, work and relationships.

What: CLE:ARMCHAIR BIRDING
Learning More About the Lives of Familiar Birds
Without trying to touch upon all of the forty-two species included in Mr. Yow’s book The Armchair Birder: Discovering
the Secret Lives of Familiar Birds, the course will highlight some of the most interesting (and less known) information about familiar birds, from the philandering of the ruby-throated hummingbird, to the occasional dipsomania of the cedar waxwing, to the less-than-exemplary behavior of our national emblem, the bald eagle. Yow will also introduce participants to a few of America’s classic bird writers such as John James Audubon, Arthur Cleveland Bent and Edward Howe Forbush.

Andrews Brothers opens at an afternoon rehearsal for a USO show in the South Pacific. Max, Lawrence and
Patrick Andrews are rehearsing with pin-up girl Peggy Jones for the big show that night. What Peggy doesn’t know
is that the brothers are really just the stagehands for the show – her back-up singers didn’t arrive in time, and the boys were recruited by the Major in charge to fill in where needed. Just as they assume all will work out well, a
radiogram arrives with the news that the headliners for tonight’s show, The Andrews Sisters, have been held in
quarantine in Hawaii. The show must be cancelled. Unless, of course, there’s a way for the Andrews Sisters to
appear...Mistaken identities and madcap adventures (imagine Bing Crosby & Bob Hope in a road movie of 'Some Like It Hot’) along with the music of an entire generation highlight this wonderful valentine to the heroes of World War II.

What: CLE:THE SEARCH FOR THE CURE TO INSANITY
When it opened its doors in 1861 on the eve of the Civil War, the Alabama Insane Hospital was the most
progressive mental institution in the country. Founded on the principal of moral architecture established by Dr.
Thomas Kirkbride and the humane treatment of patients advocated by Dorothea Dix, the hospital became the first
fully realized example of a system that used environmental conditions as part of a curative treatment for mental
illness. This discussion will explore the remarkable achievements of Dr. Peter Bryce, the first superintendent. We will also examine what went so terribly wrong in the 20th century when the same institution became the national emblem
of failure.

What: CLE:THE INTERSECTION OF CREED AND CULTURE
Whether Hindu or Muslim, Christian or Jew, our faith content is expressed in scripture, creeds, hymns and prayers,
which take on the quality of being “a given.” As one Christian hymn says “as it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be.” This course will invite you to become aware of how cultural contexts can affect us all. We shall consider how we have been influenced by external events, such as where we were born, family circumstances, education or important people. Be prepared to explore, share, be surprised and even be uncomfortable as you trace your faith journey, whatever its creed and destination.
