We venture into the serene landscapes of transcendentalism, conservation, environmentalism, and activism. Thoreau is an iconic figure whose contemplative writings continue to resonate with nature lovers and seekers of inner peace alike.
In his seminal work, "Walden; or, Life in the Woods," Thoreau invited us to accompany him to the shores of Walden Pond, where he spent two years living deliberately, simplifying his existence, and communing with nature.
Thoreau had a quest for simplicity, a reverence for the rhythms of the natural world, and an enduring belief that "the universe is wider than our views of it.
So now, Place yourself at Walden Pond, sitting by a small cabin, with the wind rustling the leaves under a Sienna-tinted sunset, and listen to storyteller Howard Clifford do his reenactment of Henry David Thoreau.
