From Tourist to Traveler: The Art of Experiential Travel 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, April 4 Who hasn’t marveled at pictures from Condé Nast Traveler magazine and pictured themselves lying on that beautiful beach, or strolling in the streets of San Gimignano? The real question, however, is how do you like to travel? As a tourist or as a traveler? In
this presentation by Antimo Cimino, founder of VoomaGo and an expert on Italy, participants learn about experiential travel and how the tourism industry is changing to be more responsive to consumer needs. It is now offering a vast array of options, but choosing between the millions of possibilities can be daunting. Cimino shares knowledge, guidelines and tips on how to create a memorable experiential vacation abroad, how to engage with locals, getting behind the scenes, learning the local lifestyle and more.

Love & Marriage: Insights from a Biblical Scholar 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, May 23 Counselors, therapists and religious leaders have plenty of insight to offer in terms of what makes for good relationships and marriages. But have you ever consulted a biblical scholar about it? Far from being straightforward and clear, the Bible has quite a range of examples of what marriage looks like, or who can enter into them, or even why people marry. Dr. Jennifer Bird, University of Portland professor, sheds new light on some key biblical passages often referenced in this conversation, as well as on a few relevant ones that are overlooked.
