That’s a good question. Mamas like doing. And yet we are encouraged to practice scholé, restful learning, in our lives. What exactly does that look like, especially in the midst of a significant trial? To be honest, it is an idea I thought worthy, but elusive—until now. The meaning of scholé came to me in the midst of a raging storm of unrest. Read more at the Scholé Groups blog. There are still a few spots left, and we'd love to have you join us! We'll be talking about the Sirens, representing temptation, who make frequent appearances in classical mythology. Their stories reveal much to us about the nature of distraction in our own lives and its interference with our pursuit of scholé. These stories also show us the ways that the Sirens—and distraction—can be resisted. If you are in need of refreshment and a time of scholé (who isn't?), join us as we explore and learn from three sessions examining encounters with Sirens: Odysseus & the Sirens, Orpheus & the Sirens, and Dante & the Sirens.
