After encountering her mentor, an eminent Thoreau scholar, eleven days after his death, in The Thoreau Whisper, Cathryn McIntyre finds she must hone her psychic ability, set her doubts aside and accept the role she was destined to play in a remarkable collaboration that allows Thoreau’s words to be heard once again in our time.

Matagiri and the Emerson Resort & Spa invite you to join us in the Emerson Resort & Spa’s Great Room for a lecture given by Professor Richard Geldard entitled “Thoreau and the Examined Life.”

2017 is the Bicentennial of Henry David Thoreau’s birth, with honorary and celebratory events taking place around the world. The source of his lasting fame is more than the experiment at Walden Pond and his influence on later protest movements by Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Thoreau led a deeply examined life, one lived consciously and fully and gave us powerful examples to follow.
