Scott Fitzgerald infuses fiction with fact to both cast and sweep away the glamour of the American Dream.

We live in difficult times with uncertainty. The term“lasting happiness”may seem preposterous to us given the world’s suffering. Nevertheless, two men, the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu, have undergone a combined fifty years of exile as they lived through each of their own nation’s violence and suffering. Having both earned the Nobel Prize for Peace both men present a vision that allows for a spiritual peace. The Book of Joy is a New York Times Bestseller. We will discuss our common spiritual humanity and provide directions for a spiritual path. Meditation practice and teachings will be an ongoing part of these classes.

Here, one can find veterans connected to every conflict our country has been involved in. Emmy–award winning documentarian and Mount Olivet historian Chris Haugh will give participants a rare view of the lives and achievements of some of these men and women through a leisurely walking tour. Of those reposing in Mount Olivet, some veterans died in military combat, while others succumbed to wounds and sickness acquired while in military service. Thankfully, the vast majority of armed forces personnel came back home from the battlefields and lived out full lives dedicated to family and professional pursuits. Most returned with a renewed understanding that “freedom is not necessarily free,” as the greatest sacrifices have been made by our soldiers and sailors throughout our country’s vast military history. Bring your walking shoes as we plan to cover a few miles through the winding roads and lanes of Frederick’s historic, garden cemetery. We will meet at the Key Memorial Chapel just beyond the Francis Scott Key Memorial. There is ample parking in the circle drive around the chapel as students can park here.

The novelist’s job is to entice them to stay by plunging them into a world so immersive that it becomes as real to them as the world in which they live. This course will look at the essential elements for creating a believable world that offers the reader an experience as well as a story. We will discuss the use of these worldbuilding elements using examples from familiar stories from both literature and television/film such as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, The Hunger Games, and The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Only a well-built world can convince a reader to believe in it, stay in it, want to learn more about it, and, hopefully, return to it again and again. The goal of this course is to arm writers with tools for building immersive worlds, no matter where (or when) their stories take place. Note: This Structured Remote Course (SR) is entirely online.
