SUMMARY:Literature Appreciation I
DESCRIPTION:The World of Troilus and Cressida \nTutor:  Hugh Parry \n  \nThe bitter Trojan war is at last coming to an end. Meanwhile\, there is passion of a very different kind (but perhaps equally intense)\, played out between two of the most famous\, or notorious\, lovers in literature\, with writers such as Boccaccio\, Chaucer\, Henryson and Shakespeare thrilling and shocking readers with their story. This course will follow their ill-starred romance\, and take a glance at some of the other legendary figures amongst whom they moved. \nHugh Parry has offered adult education classes in literature for over 30 years. Although loyal all his life to Shakespeare\, he has over the years given courses on a diverse range of topics\, including detective fiction\, utopias\, ghost stories\, Cowper\, Swift and R S Thomas. \n  \nThe second Literature Appreciation retreat this year is from 9 – 12 September.

SUMMARY:Quiet Day II
DESCRIPTION:It’s About Time \nLeader:  Revd Colin Blake \nJesus’ very first teaching was on this subject. “The time has come\,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” There are several words in the Greek language which translate into the English for time. Chronos is the one we would find most familiar\, meaning sequential time\, the kind of time you find on your wristwatch. Another is Kairos\, meaning an event\, an opportunity\, a moment in time when perhaps everything changes because it is the right time. A Kairos moment is when God breaks into your circumstances with an event that gathers some loose ends of your life and knots them together in his hands. The day will provide an opportunity to help us recognise and reflect on these Kairos events in our lives. To introduce the Learning Circle and enable us to seize these opportunities and celebrate the kingdom life this process brings. \nColin Blake has always had a desire to engage with new way of being church. After planting a church and school in the Bristol Diocese\, a move to Bath & Wells saw him lead a community church in a local pub\, alongside being a regional co-ordinator in the early days of Messy Church. This led to a relocation to Yorkshire where he became Fresh Expressions advisor to the Bishop of Bradford\, and leader of GraceSpace Fresh Expression in Saltaire. He concluded his ministry as Vicar of Wrose in Bradford before retiring with wife Katy to Hellifield. Colin enjoys computers\, blogging\, music and promoting concerts. \n  \nThis is free event\, but please contact the Hall to book your place. \nPlease bring your own lunch.

SUMMARY:Art Appreciation I
DESCRIPTION:The Golden Age of Finnish Art \nTutor:  Tim Stimson \nPaintings of mountain and fjord\, lake and forest\,  and their hardy inhabitants; such images inspired this young nation\, still dreaming of independence\, as art helped shape its sense of identity. This course is an introduction to the art and society of Finland as it emerged from the dominance & rule of other nations. \nTim’s involvement in art began with the practical. For a number of years\, he was a professional painter and ceramicist in Scotland and Wales\, before returning to university to study literature and the history of art.  For the last 30 years he has been a freelance cultural/art historian\, specialising in 17th and 19th-century art and society. He now lectures for the University of Cambridge\, the WEA\, the Art Fund and the Arts Society (formerly NADFAS)\, and presents residential study courses in Britain and Europe. Tim has now completed two lecture tours of Australia\, the last in 2016\, and presented a lecture for Hull City of Culture 2017 on T E Ferens\, patron of Hull’s newly refurbished gallery. \n  \nThe second Art Appreciation retreat this year is from 13 – 15 August.

SUMMARY:Beauty & The Survival of the Beautiful
DESCRIPTION:Tutor:  The Rt Revd David Hawkins \nCharles Darwin said in a fit of frustration\, ‘The peacock’s tail makes me sick!’  In this course we shall travel together into the origins of beauty and the challenge it presented Darwin for his theory of evolution with its ‘Survival of the Fittest’.  We will explore the interplay between beauty\, art and culture in the evolution of animals and humans. There will be engagement with some science\, zoology\, history\, archaeology\, aesthetics and art appreciation. \nDavid is an environmental artist with a studio in Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales where he works in acrylics\, watercolour\, photography\, collage and mixed media. It’s the essence of things which is his quest…the ‘tree-ness’ of things\, as Paul Cezanne used to say. Playing with the juxtaposition of images\, which have no apparent relation but can result in evocative association\, provides endless fascination – like the Surrealists\, Magritte\, Dali and co. Recent work includes socio-political themes\, as David believes art can be a more effective influence in society than rhetoric or campaigning. He’s the chair of Craven Arts and exhibits regularly in Yorkshire and London. David has been a Church of England minister all his adult life and has worked in Merseyside\, Kenya\, Nigeria\, Oxford\, Leeds and East London and Essex\, where he was the Bishop of Barking for twelve years. Since his retirement he’s been an honorary\, assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Leeds.
