Description
A home is more than the set of rooms where we eat and sleep and pay the bills. It’s the starting point for all our journeys. It’s our place within a community and a landscape, the place where our needs are met—for protection, nourishment, companionship, education—and where we help meet the needs of others. Scott Russell Sanders will talk about ways of achieving a deep sense of home, even in the midst of a society that encourages us to be rootless.
