LOOKING AT LIFE EXPERIENCE

 n

Family History
The group meets once a month at HAC. We generally choose a topic for discussion each session relating to some aspect of the lives of our ancestors. The discussion can include: background information prepared by someone in the group; sharing what we have found about our own families in relation to the topic; resources for further research and helping each other get round "brick walls" in our family tree.  All levels of experience welcome.

Philosophy
Started in September 2022, our group has been discussing a wide range of philosophical ideas ranging from Socrates to Noam Chomsky. We using "Little Book of Philosophy" but have broadened the topics to include "How to live a Good Life", "Utilitarianism" and the members are encouraged to offer their own ideas on a topic of their choosing.  You really don't need to know anything about Philosophy, so why not join us for some interesting and stimulating discussions.

Psychology of Everyday Life
This is an interactive group run by Ann Harris, a former lecturer in Psychology. We look at everyday topics that concern us from a psychological perspective; some recent subjects discussed have been Addictions, Crime, Aspects of Memory and Nostalgia. No previous knowledge of psychology is needed; just bring along your life experience.

Spiritual Wellness:
We explore our cultural understandings of mental wellbeing, beliefs about our body and causes of illness, beliefs about our existence and life beyond death, and we discuss any unusual experiences that participants may have had.
