And in the northern autumn of 2026, the invitation is to gather around the voices of two thinkers whose example helped us find our bearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10\" style=\"color:#f5b409\">Distant neighbours<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\">Ivan Illich and John Berger were both born in 1926. They had friends in common: Susan Sontag, Gustavo Esteva and, most curiously, the sisters of a Benedictine convent in Connecticut. But their work is rarely mentioned in the same breath, partly because they wrote in such different voices, and partly because they came from such different traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-12 wp-block-paragraph\">One was a Catholic priest who got in trouble with the Vatican, who became a perceptive critic of the counterproductivity of modern institutions and the hidden assumptions which shape our ways of seeing the world. The other was a Marxist art critic and novelist who settled in the Haute Savoie, who brought his politics into dialogue with what he learned from his neighbours, the last generation of peasants in Western Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-13 wp-block-paragraph\">Both offer clues for how to live beyond the failure of the logic of progress, sketching maps for imagination, conviviality and resistance in dark times. And both came to see themselves as storytellers, traffickers between the living and the dead. It is in that spirit that we meet them here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-14\" style=\"color:#f5b409\">What to expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-15 wp-block-paragraph\">This won&#8217;t be an academic seminar, there&#8217;s no required reading, but an invitation to pull up a chair and be a part of the circle in which stories come alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-16 wp-block-paragraph\">Each week, we&#8217;ll land together and start with a talk where I&#8217;m braiding together the ways of inhabiting the world that emerge from the life and work of this pair of storytellers. Whether their names are new to you or old and familiar, I hope there will be surprise in the encounter, and perhaps also recognition, having things you&#8217;ve sensed put into words. That was my experience when I first began to read them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-17 wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll open into a time for discussion and reflection, where I&#8217;m curious what other voices and names will come into the circle. Over time, Anna and I have learned that much of the power of these series lies in the connections that spark within the group: we\u2019ve witnessed conversations that deepen over time into friendships and collaborations that none of us could have foreseen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-18 wp-block-paragraph\">It works to show up quietly and listen \u2013 and there&#8217;s also room to lean forward and play a more active part, not least through the afterparty that follows the teaching session each week. You don\u2019t need to be able to make it to every session, and there will be recordings available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-19 wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, if your circumstances make the regular fee an obstacle, then get in touch, because we can generally offer you a place on a pay-what-you-can basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-20 wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dougald Hine<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3e41869c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-circular\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-border-color has-primary-border-color has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aschoolcalledhome.org\/de\/autumn-series-2026-booking\/\" style=\"border-width:3px;color:#da031a;background-color:#ffc83d\">REGISTER NOW<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\"><em>Sliding scale pricing options from $100 to $300.\u00a0If your circumstances mean that the regular fee would be an obstacle, get in touch to arrange a reduced rate.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-style-default\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-accent-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center alignwide tw-mt-5\">What participants in earlier series say<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull tw-justify-center has-text-align-left tw-cols-stack-md tw-gutter-large is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"--col-width:33.34%;flex-basis:33.34%\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-eb09e7dd-cca9-4094-9a96-4bd43e908123\">&#8220;I arrived at Dougald&#8217;s course one&nbsp;week late and not really sure what I was getting into.
