Community Travel

To help students discover who they ARE, and to further journey intensely through literature, film, and theater, A Life Worth Living community will travel three times during the course. The first will be a trip to develop a state of equanimity supported by conetmplative and yogic practices at the Roslyn Retreat Center in Richmond, VA. Students will then travel to New York City and Staunton, VA to experience theatre and art as examples of intertextuality.
