TABLE OF CONTENTS

This year we celebrate North Seattle College’s 50th Anniversary. For five

decades, the College has evolved and adapted in a forever changing landscape

to meet the needs of the community. As we approach this unique fall, some

changes happening around us are reliably familiar while others are decidedly

not. We can take comfort in the steady flow of the seasons, enjoying the cooler

temperatures and changing leaves. For all the rest of it, we adapt. Continuing

Ed has transitioned to this new landscape so that we can continue to bring

students together, virtually for now, for lifelong learning and community. How

you will approach this season of change?

I have attended many continuing education classes at North – they are a valuable resource. I have especially enjoyed the online [class]... Many factors such as unexpected work assignments, commuter traffic, dinner hunger, etc. determine whether I can enroll in an on-campus class and be able to attend on time and every time. Online classes solve many of these issues for me.

Creative Writing: City Fiction Cities are spaces forever in flux. Neighborhoods change, buildings are razed and new ones take their places, people move in and out. Within this environment, the writer attempts to capture the pace, the texture and the meaning of urban living.

Contemporary writers like Tommy Orange and Sayaka Murata have explored the emergence of new and forgotten identities in urban spaces. By reading excerpts and short fiction, students will learn the techniques that allow these eminent authors to create narratives that revolve around the city. These techniques will then be practiced, refined and implemented into the students’ own writing through a series of assignments.7097 10/13/2020-12/1/2020 6:30-8:30PM 8ses Tu Challinor Online;Zoom $175

VISUAL ARTS It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again: A Julia

Cameron JourneyEach of us is creative and has something meaningful to share with others. In her recent book, It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again, based on her groundbreaking guide The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron explores creativity in midlife and beyond. Retirement can be a richly rewarding experience, a time to revisit previous dreams, begin new projects and rewrite our futures. Through twelve lessons, we will kindle the creative spirit through four basic practices: daily morning pages, weekly artist dates, twice-weekly solo walks and a weekly in-class guided process to trigger and record memories. Julia Cameron says all it takes to rediscover creativity are “passion, commitment and the courage to be a beginner.” Each class meeting will include time for sharing experiences, goals and individual journeys to nurture personal creativity and inspire others. Textbook: It’s Never Too Late to Begin Again. See www.learnatnorth.org for textbook information.7113 9/29/2020-11/3/2020 6:30-8:30PM 6ses Tu John Online;Zoom $129

Women and MythologyMyth has the power to enliven and enrich our everyday lives and dreams. We will examine the significance of multicultural female-centric epics, folktales and fables, as we discuss the experiences of contemporary courageous women through literary, psychological, spiritual and cultural perspectives. Many ancient myths were written from a patriarchal point of view, which either vilified or denied a woman’s value. We will study an updated model of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey, based on a new set of criteria for women, and aptly renamed the “shero’s” journey. Imagine revisiting Pandora and praising her for curiosity and independence, rather than disparaging her. Walk in spirit with Jane Austen, Frida Kahlo, Isak Dinesen, Maya Angelou, Joy Harjo or Maxine Hong Kingston. Each class celebrates storytelling through the lens of ancient myths in addition to our own personal stories as inspiration for writing or art. We will explore collage, music, meditation and optional presentations. Suggested but not required reading includes: The Sound of a Silver Horn, Kathleen Noble; Women Who Run with the Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estés; Circe, Madeline Miller; and A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf.

This course is open to yoga practitioners as well as those who have never practiced yoga postures. Handouts will be provided.

Understanding Trauma: Dynamics, Impacts and InterventionsThrough lecture, discussion and group interaction, students will gain a greater understanding of what trauma is and how it affects people, including their behaviors, thought processes and feelings. The discussion will include viewing trauma in the short, intermediate and long terms. Much of the generally available information on trauma is misleading and simply inaccurate, so this course will provide a concrete definition of trauma and its different levels (i.e. the trauma continuum). The course will look at the interventions, therapies and supports that are most likely to help persons impacted by trauma, and also the potential limitations and risks with those efforts. We’ll address issues such as: symptom management versus healing, the role of diagnosis, and advanced topics of cultural and intergenerational trauma. One outcome of the course is for registrants to more fully understand what it means for a practice or an organization to be truly “trauma-informed.”7261 10/1/2020-11/5/2020 6:30-8:30PM 6ses Th Sideman Online;Zoom $155
