experiences and creating a lifetime of opportunities. So come join us for the
adventure, and take a class just for the fun of it!
Psychology of Interpersonal Forgiveness
Have you ever FORGIVEN someone? Have you been FORGIVEN? What does Forgiveness mean to you? Can people be
taught to Forgive? How does Forgiveness differ from Forgetting, Excusing, Condoning and Reconciliation?
Although traditionally, associated with the fields of philosophy and religion, forgiveness has become a popular
topic of psychological inquiry during the past 30 years. This class will begin with students’ own personal definitions
of forgiveness and what it is and what is not and examine misconceptions associated with forgiveness. We will
then explore forgiveness from different perspectives as well as the benefits of forgiving to the forgiver and the
one forgiven.

The Science and Practice of Meditation
Scientific research on meditation has uncovered benefits associated with mediation practice including better
memory, focused attention, reduced stress, improved health and sleep, and increase in creativity and insight.
Neuroscience methods have explored brain areas and mechanism responsible for these benefits. In this course,
participants will be exposed to the scientific literature from psychology and neuroscience on meditation as well as
learn about and practice meditation techniques.

Breaking Ground on Your Life Story
Sue will lay the foundation in craft and motivation in writing a life story or memoir. She will encourage and guide
writers at all levels from beginner to advanced to write stories that family, friends and strangers will love to read.
Topics may include discovering your story, developing characters, creating scenes, weaving history into your story,
using information to fill in gaps, discovering the universal “take away”, using audio and video to record stories, etc.
Class time would be interactive/lecture. Students would write outside of class. I will read up to five pages of their
story and give feedback.

American Rhetoric American Reality:
The Idea of Religious Freedom
In the battles over Religion and Politics in America, both liberals
and conservatives claim that the U.S. was born, reared, and raised
in religious freedom. But what is this shared belief is an historical
falsehood? What if, instead, it is a history of religious conflict? And
what if that conflict involved extended periods of religious coercion
and continual attempts to maintain religious power and control? So
what does the idea of religious liberty actually mean? Such questions
form the core of this course.

hands-on class where much of the instruction is 1-1. As a team-taught class, we will cover ways to tweak and fine-tune
images, demonstrate techniques to cut images out from their background, and practice designing graphics. We will
stress creativity and fun. We will also help LLU students navigate any interface issues they have with their own personal
technology devices. We look forward to a fun, engaging, and enriching experience! Maximum enrollment: 15 students.

are just thinking about writing. I would also like to know if they are writing for their family or a larger audience. That
will help me determine the session topic.
