UPCOMING LECTURES
Kathleen Alcalá
Author
Saturday, June 9th
3pm at the Bloedel Residence
Ms. Alcalá will discuss the ideals the Bloedel’s brought to the creation of the Bloedel Reserve, along with those of several architects, and the philosophical approaches influential at the time. How do these ideas manifest themselves on Bainbridge Island today? Given our growing population, is it possible for us to live in balance with nature?

1pm to 4pm at the Bloedel Residence
Japanese Aesthetics: Contemplation by Design gives you the opportunity to pause, enjoy beauty, learn, experience nature, and reflect using the lens of Japanese aesthetics.
The program includes both information and experiential exploration, in keeping with the Japanese idea that aesthetics are not limited to the fine arts and design (as is the case in the West). Rather, they are integrated with all realms of experience–thereby opening the possibility for a richer, more thoughtful life.
