This event is a part of the Concord > Festival of Authors. > > > When: Wednesday, October 22nd, 6:15 pm - 8:00 pm EST > > Where: The Walden Woods Project, Lincoln, MA > > About Richard Higgins: > Richard Higgins is a writer, book coach and the author or editor of five > books, including, most recently, Thoreau’s God, from the University of > Chicago Press, which explores Thoreau’s iconoclastic religious vision, and > Thoreau and the Language of Trees, about Thoreau’s multifaceted love of > trees. A Boston Globe staff writer for 20 years, Richard lives in Concord and > is a member of the Thoreau Society board. A graduate of Holy Cross College, > Columbia Journalism School, and Harvard Divinity School, Richard has written > for The New York Times, Washington Post, Christian Century, American Scholar > and other publications. > > About the presentation: > Richard Higgins will discuss his book, Thoreau’s God, which recovers a > central thread in Thoreau’s life and work that has been ignored or > dismissed—his personal religiosity and iconoclastic theological vision. Both > are woven through Thoreau’s work as a naturalist and his philosophical > thought and ethical commitments. Although a harsh critic of historical > Christianity, Thoreau was religious to the bone and had a profound sense of > the holy. In a time of religious upheaval, he was a pioneer who sought to > divorce the religious sentiment from its institutional context. In essence, > he was a mystic who, while firmly moored to the earth, was on a quest to > commune with a divine mystery that was both immanent in the natural world and > transcendent. He called this illimitable presence many names, but he often > called it God. Thoreau’s eclectic, experiential spirituality is resonating > with spiritual seekers in America today. > > Doors will open at 6:15 pm for a wine and cheese reception. The presentation > will begin at 7:00 pm. > > REGISTER FOR RICHARD HIGGINS: THOREAU'S GOD > <http://em.networkforgood.com/ls/click?upn=u001.EKrofqOCCEktkLsfUgT5eMP25KED2xnEdyF0J8eW6k3iTICowHnIAck5VhcnYLMIxgD4T-2BHdNbe2ocsDlxHN1pqJqa6rHM4ZmZKuJ1WR6W4-3DYjR8_vUMsaPMqFRHY8o-2FqSZHhEhZ-2FDGSuf0A9DJLJE0-2Bac83iH5VITPuIoku65bYUSk4bFFBWSwZn64if3aIcOHn-2BdCqg-2FjJzP364GWi-2FinyudCtjlD6NXdsjcUi9xIaU41-2B4j0vE4MQJquQ6ZYCgI-2BLU1IJROe5Lyv-2FN-2BypqC6ng-2FKL9t-2FLDVefuCwDwuygNWGCDvZXlaphM3bcvNz0Bu3sVKG37Qw0nDflfyx8RCF942MDyJ5OJoVdCIv5KMrFqgmZ3X8QWhgAjr3JV-2BRIyd16TC3r0v-2F-2BhzipE-2BWrjDFdTsN-2BIBPiU7oMxq0T8cjfQHNr0fyFM1TCFWp45iUa-2FRYYTlfL3QizQYARJKMPYQMsklKA-3D> > > The Walden Woods Project and Friends of Walden Pond Upcoming Events > "Birds of Prey" with > Tom Ricardi > Sunday, October 19 > 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST > Walden Pond State Reservation Visitor Center > Concord, MA > Richard Higgins: > Thoreau's God > Wednesday, October 22 > 6:15 pm - 8:00 pm EST > The Walden Woods Project > Lincoln, MA > Finding Your Walden: How to Strive Less, Minimize More, & Embrace What > Matters Most > Sunday, November 9 > 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST > Thoreau Farm > Concord, MA > On Becoming an Osprey with David Gessner > Thursday, November 13 > 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST > The Walden Woods Project Virtual > Leila Philip: Beaverland > Tuesday, November 18 > 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm EST > Goodwin Forum, Main Library > Concord, MA > Potential for Wolf Restoration in New England with > George Wuerthner > Thursday, November 20 > 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST > The Walden Woods Project > Virtual > LEARN MORE AND REGISTER FOR UPCOMING EVENTS > <http://em.networkforgood.com/ls/click?upn=u001.EKrofqOCCEktkLsfUgT5eExPsOJyVAHPVNYKv0zkRm9hM6sNU4Rb9NJJw2FHmoO1GEGe6iFRJpD6jpw7nSwTDd4SExio8vOtVY-2FWYQm7rao-3DCSbp_vUMsaPMqFRHY8o-2FqSZHhEhZ-2FDGSuf0A9DJLJE0-2Bac83iH5VITPuIoku65bYUSk4bFFBWSwZn64if3aIcOHn-2BdCqg-2FjJzP364GWi-2FinyudCtjlD6NXdsjcUi9xIaU41-2B4j0vE4MQJquQ6ZYCgI-2BLU1IJROe5Lyv-2FN-2BypqC6ng-2FKJOItT6mWGcxK0sqy-2FG7G5OpvDLotns92wsisjc9MvBtwl4RWjq63zvZe3m1LVh5uRwJbpIxxrFiowefJ33xkH6jEYclI7Qo7alsY9OeWVO5yOObDijSt1eBC-2FFyAFyt5MAduvLUjVAl6lzqz-2BeQeguOYF8uFlG5edahsUxGcMXSopVQ8JMArM0K8kdwMJmX6g-3D> > > > <http://em.networkforgood.com/ls/click?upn=u001.EKrofqOCCEktkLsfUgT5eID5Yuz-2BQuy67OLYphlZI833xloS1mTzgx-2BZ3AqNcaG-2FtHPoUQ3187amlN-2F3L4o7mQ-3D-3DdhUS_vUMsaPMqFRHY8o-2FqSZHhEhZ-2FDGSuf0A9DJLJE0-2Bac83iH5VITPuIoku65bYUSk4bFFBWSwZn64if3aIcOHn-2BdCqg-2FjJzP364GWi-2FinyudCtjlD6NXdsjcUi9xIaU41-2B4j0vE4MQJquQ6ZYCgI-2BLU1IJROe5Lyv-2FN-2BypqC6ng-2FKKyLZ-2BfBuQZ4fvkhvMBSQhzKaIR57XX7ZELKof-2Bax-2Fl9mnTXHK-2BN-2FgQB4kXi-2BaFekLaxHEYUC5JOisorHxTPRNGryK93yFCFev8QvC6kFuBqEi7IFJnUhZ-2Biqge1MfhYrkzSmby-2Bvbuuf9LjE8arvIEmMi380r2mUereyf8sO0HDjJplJ5-2BHdXBGbtBaCIgWao-3D> > > <http://em.networkforgood.com/ls/click?upn=u001.EKrofqOCCEktkLsfUgT5eBwaZmp-2FZzLeJw0cumlM9FNWsHxC9w181pijMqCbzNvEGX2nqH77Kj1AnWWrv-2BXjpw-3D-3Dcy8v_vUMsaPMqFRHY8o-2FqSZHhEhZ-2FDGSuf0A9DJLJE0-2Bac83iH5VITPuIoku65bYUSk4bFFBWSwZn64if3aIcOHn-2BdCqg-2FjJzP364GWi-2FinyudCtjlD6NXdsjcUi9xIaU41-2B4j0vE4MQJquQ6ZYCgI-2BLU1IJROe5Lyv-2FN-2BypqC6ng-2FKIdAYNxI-2Ba-2FcAhwzvRdCkgDgjh4kQdfPS3sJAntgeCBLBPzBwKuBf0ugDVapvn6EZC70UwVGi2UVrhXXOc-2Bx2itKUDC-2F6ETfZBk1WVHRe-2BU7-2BVKpDvmZzd1q9sczu-2ByNrWkRCjyotCuPK9IomhuG4A-2FDKD3gVR0oGKpFmKqM-2BuAzNDPdodAUQIdwZHN5MVqNIw-3D> > > <http://em.networkforgood.com/ls/click?upn=u001.EKrofqOCCEktkLsfUgT5eKXE3fRyqR1PNhLWgO67rBqXk666-2B6QnPPPvR7uWIpsE9qUry04GqsYqGkSqpG-2FFDw-3D-3Dul2c_vUMsaPMqFRHY8o-2FqSZHhEhZ-2FDGSuf0A9DJLJE0-2Bac83iH5VITPuIoku65bYUSk4bFFBWSwZn64if3aIcOHn-2BdCqg-2FjJzP364GWi-2FinyudCtjlD6NXdsjcUi9xIaU41-2B4j0vE4MQJquQ6ZYCgI-2BLU1IJROe5Lyv-2FN-2BypqC6ng-2FKL4PWhQIMmPAnnWsBg5BvANqzw6yVb6wF-2BzY-2BkfX8x947YwvfIYLDiOvm3zmAu-2FQWJerYg2-2BPV-2F5K4-2FiAKrkArqnTe-2FJn92pr-2Fy7XEZX8r9wKDPpQqtSQzgRKCywfuWhlxYy6iJYxXCQiNG9vJH-2F4Zl1j8pZgyKTVWrX3ySu5Ax6tzcrnDJRLz6FnIylA2Ef-2Fs-3D> > > ABOUT US... > > The Walden Woods Project is a nonprofit organization committed to preserving > the land, literature, and legacy of Henry David Thoreau through conservation, > education, research and advocacy.
