We have an amazing "Lecture on the Go" series for 2026. New topics and fascinating stories abound! Join us and learn about the world and keep active and warm and cool during the winter and summer months!

I started this walking classroom when we were under that horrible cloud called Covid. This series was popular and helped people get back into society and life.

The "Lecture on the Go" Series is open to members who have purchased the YEARLY MEMBERSHIP PASS, it's free for those members. If you wish to attend a lecture and you are not a yearly pass member then the price per lecture is $20.00.

This fourth lecture is focussed on the writings by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri. We are taken on an unexpected descent into a place where every choice, mistake, and hidden truth seems to have a consequence. Dante finds himself lost, but what follows is anything but ordinary. He enters a world that is imaginative, and strangely familiar.

Dante encounters a series of surprising scenes. The landscape shifts, the atmosphere deepens, and the people he meets add a layer of realism that makes the experience personal. The structure of the story builds in intensity, revealing how each step downward uncovers something new.

What makes this work so fascinating is not just its imagery, but the questions it raises. Inferno invites you to think differently about consequences, and accountability, and the way stories shape our understanding. You may find yourself reconsidering ideas in new light.

In this lecture on the Go, we’ll explore Dante’s Inferno in a way that reveals its surprises. You’ll come away with a clear understanding of the journey, and its themes, and the remarkable way in which it was written. If you’re curious about a story that continues to challenge this is one journey you won’t want to miss.
