What's new

Notes from the house.

When something changes for people who come here — members, guests, neighbors, friends who give — we write it down. Session times still live on the calendar. This page is the bulletin on the wall.

How to read this

Newest first. No noise.


We don't post for the sake of posting. If it's here, it matters to someone who uses this place.

Current notices


  1. The site and calendar are live

    You can now read who we are, what we offer, what we teach, and when we meet — all in one place. The calendar is the official list of nights. Directions to The Lodge still go out only to people who are registered.

    Open the calendar

  2. Fall evenings are going on the calendar

    Classes, workshops, and community nights for fall go up as hosts confirm. If you teach adults and want an evening here, send a presenter application.

  3. We're raising for a home we can keep

    The campaign to buy a Hudson Valley education center is open. Gifts help the charity own The Lodge — not a private owner. A longer campus in Eastern Tennessee is still just a later idea.

    Give if you can Read about the building

  4. Membership is open

    Adults 18 and older: come to Public Orientation, then apply. No yearly dues. The board reads applications. The Code of Conduct is the deal we keep with each other.
