Quiet Activism

Writer Sarah Rabkin will read from past work and a current book-in-progress, The Quiet Activist, exploring ways in which introverted and contemplative people contribute to movements for justice, peace, and sustainable societies. Sarah is the author and illustrator of What I Learned at Bug Camp: Essays on Finding a Home in the World. She grew up in Berkeley in the 1960s and 70s and has lived in Santa Cruz County since 1983. Sarah taught writing and environmental studies at UC Santa Cruz for thirty years; she currently works as a freelance editor and leads writing retreats in beautiful locations-most recently in the world of Zoom. Long ago, she studied biology at Harvard and science communication at UCSC. Happily, her education has outlasted her schooling

Join Senior Connections for programs held every Monday. All programs are curated by seniors and are open to members as well as the wider Santa Cruz community. All programs are free.

Since 2006, Senior Connections has been providing an eclectic mix of lectures, discussions, films, musical and dramatic performances, arts and health panels, rabbinic roundtables and annual luncheons. Visit with friends, make new friends and learn something new.

Programs are subject to change.
