Exploring Nature with Watercolor: An Adventure of Belonging

Join us on Tuesday, July 21 & 28 and September 1, 8, & 15 for a nature, art, and mindfulness workshop with watercolors!

Beginners will be offered an introduction to the medium and experienced watercolorists can begin exploring. Our time together will include gentle stretches, simple breathing exercises, sensory nature observation and watercolor experimentation. The class will be held in Preservation Hall’s peaceful green backyard space. On rainy days we will migrate to a spacious hall with a view of green space and trees and a supply of sources from nature. The workshop is led by Rebecca Arnoldi- teaching artist, naturalist, certified mindful outdoor guide and yoga instructor. Drop in for any one session or come to all! Bring your own materials, or you can use what we’ve got: some basic watercolor materials will be available with a suggested donation of $5/class.

Author Talk: MEERA SUBRAMANIAN
“A Better World is Possible”
In Conversation with Elizabeth Bradfield
As climate change quickens - bringing with it extreme weather, biodiversity loss, and humanitarian crises — four teens help organize the world's largest climate protest. Hundreds of thousands join them, taking to the streets of New York City and demanding answers. How did climate change get this bad? Who's to blame?
And most importantly: What can we do about it? In A Better World is Possible: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis, New York Times best-selling illustrator Danica Novgorodoff and award-winning environmental journalist Meera Subramanian share experiences from their lives and those of the four youth activists. Through their stories, we learn the science behind our changing planet and explore solutions at hand. They show us that anyone can make meaningful change, because a better world is possible - and together, we can create it!
Meera Subramanian is an award-winning freelance journalist who writes narrative nonfiction about home in the personal and planetary sense, in a time of climate crisis. Her work has appeared in publications such as Nature, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Virginia Quarterly Review, and Orion, where she is a contributing editor. Her first book was A River Runs Again: India's Natural World in Crisis, which was short-listed for the 2016 Orion Book Award.
Elizabeth Bradfield is an American poet and naturalist. She is the author of several books, including Interpretive Work, winner of the Audre Lorde Award, and Approaching Ice. Her work has been nominated for the Lambda Literary Prize and the James Laughlin Award.

Author Talk: Abbie Rosner
Wellfleet Public Library
Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging
Baby boomers are once again exploring the psychedelic drugs of their youth, but this time to enhance their experience of aging. In this book, Abbie Rosner does a deep dive into what psychedelics can offer us in our later years and their risks and benefits for older adults. In compelling personal stories, more than 30 older psychonauts share how their psychedelic experiences helped them heal old wounds, align with their authentic selves, experience profound love and forgiveness, and make peace with their mortality. Many describe how psychedelic journeying has made their older years the happiest, most meaningful time of their lives. Beyond sharing individual stories of expansion and transformation, Rosner shows that these pioneering psychedelic elders are helping us reimagine what older age looks and feels like in our ageist, death-phobic culture. Her work illuminates the evolution-and revolution-of the role of elders in our society.

Revolutionary Wellfleet: Patriots and Privateers with Dwight Estey
Wellfleet Adult Community Center
Revolutionary Wellfleet: Patriots and Privateers with Dwight Estey
Join the Wellfleet Historical Society’s Dwight Estey for an engaging look at Wellfleet during the tumultuous years leading up to the American Revolution. In 1763, Wellfleet was thriving—its population growing, prosperity rising, and independence from Eastham newly secured. Within a decade, however, England’s tightening control began to fracture that stability. Dwight will explore the lives of local residents as they defended their coastline, supported neighboring communities, and took to the sea against one of the world’s most powerful naval forces. The talk examines conflicting assumptions about Wellfleet’s commitment to freedom, willingness to fight, and motivations for privateering. All are welcome!
Please RSVP to 774-801-8119.

The presentation covers key considerations such as safety, social engagement, medical needs, caregiver stress, financial planning, and when it may be time to explore additional support. Rather than recommending specific communities, Oasis focuses on helping individuals and families understand their options so they can make informed and confident decisions based on their personal needs, preferences, and budget. This program is ideal for anyone beginning to plan ahead, experiencing changes at home, or simply wanting to better understand the choices available on Cape Cod and beyond. Lunch will be provided.

This will be a guided creative exploration of the natural world using watercolor as a tool for discovery. This experiential process-oriented workshop welcomes all levels and abilities. Beginners will be offered an introduction to the medium and experienced watercolorists can begin exploring. Our time together will include gentle stretches, simple breathing exercises, sensory nature observation and watercolor experimentation. The class will be held in Preservation Hall’s peaceful green backyard space. On rainy days we will migrate to a spacious hall with a view of green space and trees and a supply of sources from nature. The workshop is led by Rebecca Arnoldi- teaching artist, naturalist, certified mindful outdoor guide and yoga instructor. Drop in for any one session or come to all! Bring your own materials, or you can use what we’ve got: some basic watercolor materials will be available with a suggested donation of $5/class.
Register at the door, $36 per student.

Oars, Sail, & Steam: Art on the Water
Open University of Wellfleet
Instructor: Lewis Shepard
Dates: Wednesdays, 9/23, 9/30, 10/7, 10/14, 10/21
Time: 10:30am-12pm
For many Americans when they think of boats on the water, Noah's Ark springs to mind. World literature, often with illustrations, is a starting point when we recall images of life on waters, both fact and fiction,( think of Kon Tiki, Moby Dick, Huckleberry Finn) Here in Massachusetts we have the USS Constitution, launched in 1797 and still afloat in Boston Harbor.
Cultural traditions, religion, commerce, have been a part of nautical visions that began in Egypt and continues today. Illustrated books, poetry, fact and fiction, movies, music and the theatre are interwoven with our thoughts of life on the water. Here on Cape Cod we have much to consider, one of the reasons for this class. The history of New England, even including Vermont's Lake Champlain, is replete with source material.

The History of World Mountaineering
Open University of Wellfleet
$60.00
Instructor: Maurice Isserman
Dates: Thursdays, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, 10/29
Time: 3pm-5pm
Location: Wellfleet Preservation Hall
Maurice Isserman, co-author of the 2008 Banff Prize-winning history of Himalayan mountaineering, Fallen Giants, will be drawing on his soon-to-be-published history of climbing around the world to provide an overview of mountaineering from its origins down to the present. Among other climbs, the first ascents of the Matterhorn, Denali, Nanda Devi, the North Face of the Eiger, and the West Ridge of Everest will be covered. One week will be devoted to the history of the US Army’s 10th Mountain Division in World War II, with Isserman’s Winter Army as the main text. The course also considers topics related to the cultural and political background of mountaineering, including European Romanticism, American Transcendentalism, the British Empire, and Nazi Germany.
American Politics in Musicals: A 250th Anniversary Assessment
Open University of Wellfleet
For as long as there have been entertaining musicals in the United States, edifying political commentary has often played a secondary or subliminal role in the art form. For every frivolous Cats (1981) there is an intense Hamilton (2015), matchmaking Hello, Dolly! (1964) a historically relevant 1776 (1969), flippant Funny Face (1927) a satirical Of Thee I Sing (1931). Even in shows that are ostensibly all about fun—say, Irving Berlin’s 1933 As Thousands Cheer, with songs and sketches loosely based on news of the rich and famous—the somber “Supper Time” tells the story of a woman making dinner for a husband who will never return home…from his lynching. In the hyper-energetic, feel-good musical Hairspray (2002), “I Know Where I’ve Been” sings of the long fight for racial equality.
During this five-week course, Marc Strauss, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Conservatory of Theatre and Dance, Southeast Missouri State University, will introduce, show DVD and YouTube videos, and lead discussion on a host of songs and dances from American musicals across eras and regions that seriously address cultural and political issues. During our country’s 250th year in 2026, the course will culminate with the showing and analysis of the Peter H. Hunt-directed Hollywood film 1776, from 1972—created as a lead-up to our 200th anniversary in 1976—written by Peter Stone with music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards

Dates: Wednesdays, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, 11/11, 11/18
Time: 1pm-3pm

Washington Irving and his work have been a pervasive presence in American pop culture for over two centuries. Best known as the author of mythical tales of a terrifying Headless Horseman and Rip Van Winkle’s twenty-year sleep, Irving was the first professional American man of letters. His pop cultural legacy ranges from Joseph Jefferson’s 40-year-run on stage as Rip Van Winkle, to Irving himself as a character in the 1938 Broadway musical Knickerbocker Holiday, to many film and TV adaptations of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” that include Walt Disney’s 1949 animated version, Tim Burton’s 1999 horror film Sleepy Hollow, and a popular 2013-2017 TV series. The class will read select works by Irving and adaptations of them and survey the range of works he inspired .

Author Talk: Kostya Kennedy
Wellfleet Public Library
The Ride
On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on a borrowed horse to fulfill a dangerous but crucial mission: to alert American colonists of advancing British troops, which would seek to crush their nascent revolt. Revere was not the only rider that night, and indeed, he had completed at least 18 previous rides across New England and other colonies, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years to come - as the American Revolution morphed from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding legends. In The Ride, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of April 18 and 19, 1775, informed by fresh primary and secondary source research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. Thrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, The Ride re-tells an essential American story for a new generation of readers.
Kostya Kennedy is the Editor in Chief of Premium Publishing at People Inc. A former Senior Writer and Editor at Sports Illustrated, he is the author of True: The Four Seasons of Jackie Robinson as well as the New York Times bestsellers 56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports and Pete Rose: An American Dilemma. All three books won the CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year. He has taught at Columbia and New York University, and he lives in Westchester County, New York.
