Spiritual Insights from Speculative Fiction

Sunday, November 10, from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Speculative fiction is an umbrella term that includes science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, and other genres that depart from realism.  Join us for a 2-part series in which we’ll read from two works of speculative fiction and talk about spiritual insights we can gain from them. This is a spin-off from the Spiritual Insights from Short Stories series earlier this year, again at 11:00 to 12 noon in the Fireside Room. In the first session of the new series, led by Martha Luemers, we’ll read three pages of excerpts from the trilogy Thessaly by Jo Walton that focus on the reflections of the mythical god Apollo on his experience of becoming human for a mortal lifetime.

You don’t have to sign up in advance, but if you let us know you’re coming by emailing Amy Boward at amy@ladera.com, we’ll send you a digital copy of the excerpts.  Hard copies will also be available at the session.
