Ours is a welcoming, diverse, and dynamic group that offers wisdom from life experiences and shares information and resources. Most of all, we are creating a space where people can feel heard and held in community.

Archaeology is much more than excavation. It blends science, history, and detective work, using tools like CT scans, astronomical modeling, and even cryptographic analysis to solve puzzles from across the ages. Great Archaeological Mysteries of Europe and the Mediterranean illuminates the full scope of this exciting field. Dr. Karen Bellinger draws on her archaeological experience across several continents as she shows how to read artifacts not just as objects, but as clues to a rich and often surprising story. You’ll explore astonishing finds like the Antikythera Mechanism, a 2,000-year-old computer; Ötzi the Iceman, whose remains reveal a tale of murder in the Alps; and the mysterious Voynich Manuscript, which still defies interpretation. You’ll also examine persistent puzzles: the Holy Grail, the Library of Alexandria, the Galloway Hoard, and more.

Are you interested in participating in an arts & crafts group at ESUC? Do you have an unfinished project that you would like to finish while connecting with the community? Do you love to sew, quilt, knit, crochet, embroider, paint, do calligraphy, make jewelry, and more? Would you like to teach or learn these skills?
