Active Retirement Association: “Celebrating Ordinary People in Distant Places”

The Active Retirement Association (ARA) presents a FREE event, “Celebrating Ordinary People in Distant Lands,” featuring Wendy Beckwith, ARA member and professor emerita of LaRoche College. She has travelled to distant places with striking landscapes, unique cultures, and wonderful architecture, but it is the people of Peru, Morocco, and Nepal who have left the greatest impression on her. Through her narrative you will meet a coca leaf vendor, a shepherd, a Himalayan village couple, a Thangka artist, and a living goddess, each living an ordinary life that to most might seem quite extraordinary.
This FREE event is open to the public and will take place on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, 1:30 – 3:00 PM, at the Community Church of Durham, 17 Main Street, Durham, NH, AND ALSO VIA ZOOM. Pre-registration for non-members only is required at seacoastara@gmail.com. Please be sure to indicate whether you plan to attend in person or via Zoom.
