ABOUT VISTAS SEMINARS

VISTAS seminars are based on one or two assigned readings of readily available books. Additional reading materials are handed out at each session along with the questions to be discussed at the next meeting. Participants are challenged by the readings and the questions to join in lively discussions.

Seminars are typically held one day a week for six weeks. Sessions are usually held on Monday or Wednesday mornings in convenient Santa Barbara locations. There are occasional afternoon sessions for viewing videos or movies related to the subject. Because of the seminar format, class size is limited. The seminar fee for VISTAS members is $45; $75 for non-members (less for shorter courses).
