The Great Lecture Library

Longtime readers may remember that my wife and I make an annual trek to the Chautauqua Institution in western New York State. This year we'll be going at the end of July and early August. For those not familiar with Chautauqua, it is an experience unique beyond compare. You can find out more for yourself by visiting them on the web at www.ciweb.org. Here is a one paragraph from their website description:

"Many of the visitors who return to Chautauqua year after year describe it as an experience rather than a vacation -- a place for renewal. The Chautauqua Institution was founded on the belief that everyone 'has a right to be all that he or she can be -- to know all that he or she can know.' The experiences come in many forms. A dramatic lakeside setting and the beauty of its National Historic Landmark architecture (it was designated a National Historic Landmark June 30, 1989) make the Chautauqua Institution a thriving community where visitors come to find intellectual and spiritual growth and renewal."

The hallmark of Chautauqua are their lectures, sermons, and presentations. For those who are not able to attend the Institution in person, you can listen to the lectures online by going to www.thegreatlecturelibrary.com. Like the website I told you about last week, www.newdimensions.org, the Chautauqua site enables you to listen to some things for free. If you join the site, however, you can listen to everything for free and download your favorites to your MP3 player. With rates starting as low as $69 per year, this is yet another way to stay stimulated on the trek of life.
