Each week we invite noted guest speakers, talented performers and workshop leaders—authors, politicians, musicians, artists, MDs and other leaders in their fields -- to present afternoon learning experiences and evening lectures. (See Events Calendar) You may wish to plan a visit to coincide with one of these programs. Our own staff members are experts in many fields, and in addition to being fitness instructors may also present exciting evening lectures. Recent topics, for example, include a travel narrative and slide show of a trek in Bhutan, a cross-country bicycle ride, and a climb to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
