The Lifelong Learning Lodge: Curiosity with Equanimity

 At the Lifelong Learning Lodge, we honor the art of growing older with intention, curiosity, and calm.

Our mission is to support your ongoing pursuit of knowledge, insight, and self-development within a daily rhythm that balances engagement and ease. Here, learning is lifelong, creativity is encouraged, and rest is respected.

Our weekly offerings include gentle, body-aware exercise (SeniorShape Fitness, stationary bicycling, walking, and swimming); artistic and creative exploration (sketching, memoir writing and legacy work); and time set aside for reading, reflection, and language study. Outdoor activities—such as walking dogs along the arroyo, container gardening on the patio, or visiting the Charco del Ingenio—invite a deeper connection with the natural world. Occasional community service projects, such as the Arroyo Las Cachinches clean-up, offer additional opportunities for meaningful engagement.

Animals are an integral part of life at the Lodge, offering companionship, presence, and quiet joy. Meals are simple, nourishing, and thoughtfully prepared, with occasional outings that bring variety and delight. Time for rest, reflection, and unstructured living is woven throughout each day.

At the Lifelong Learning Lodge, we cultivate a life that is active but unhurried, structured but spacious—guided always by curiosity, and sustained by equanimity.

I Still Love America. That's Why I'm Writing This: what I've seen from afar, and why I haven't stopped caring

(photo taken on my trip to NY, May 2022) The most stunning book I’ve read in a long time is the one I’m reading now: Defying Hitler , a memoir by Sebastian Haffner. He was born in Germany in 1907, and the book—written in 1939 but unpublished until 2000—covers the years from his birth through 1933, just as Hitler came to power. It traces the rise of Nazism in Germany from the perspective of an ordinary German, offering a rare and immediate eyewitness account. Haffner wasn’t a politician or a historian; he was simply someone who paid attention. And as I read, I can’t help but draw parallels between the rise of fascism in Germany and the political events in the U.S. I find myself checking off boxes. Yes, that’s already happened. Yes, that too. I want to go back and build a timeline, to place the events Haffner describes alongside what has unfolded in the United States over the past decade. This isn’t a subject I usually write about, but I feel compelled, not just to share my thoughts, bu...

Taking the Plunge at Sixty-Three

Image
  When I read about how Annie Edson Taylor had gone over Niagara Falls in a barrel on her 63rd birthday, I felt a flash of recognition. Like Annie, I’ve been marking my birthdays with some kind of personal challenge. In her case, she took her leap into the roaring unknown in 1901, trying to secure fame and a financial future for herself. At sixty-three, I too am going to leap. I started this practice a few years back. One year, it was a photo shoot: me in a long black dress, holding my guitar on top of a massive draft horse. It was just two months after my dad died. It was a challenge because I had considered not celebrating my birthday at all—but then I realized that my dad would have wanted me to. So I did it in his honor. The morning of my birthday, I got dressed up, walked into town, made that image, and celebrated with a shot of tequila reposado afterwards (and then I had to rush off to perform in the restaurant). I didn’t know it then, but that would be the last year I playe...

From the body's perspective, 50 is not the new 30. And that's just fine.

Image
Inspired by Theresa MacPhail ’s article “ You Should Act Your Age – at Least When It Comes to Exercise” ( The Guardian , Nov 3, 2025) Read the original article → Yesterday, I read an article about exercise and aging  by Theresa MacPhail in The Guardian . Her main point was that we need to adjust our exercise routines and be more realistic about our exercise goals and our body's abilities in general as we grow older. Specifically, she points out that older people should increase resistance training to about 60% of their workouts, reduce cardio to 40%, and overall be gentler on their bodies. MacPhail calls out the fallacy of “ 50 is the new 30 ,” which I’d already come to see as a myth, yet still had been carrying in the back of my mind. I often compared current self to the image of my thirty-year-old self and blamed any slowdown on laziness. The article encouraged me to shift that thinking. I'm working on it. MacPhail shared several anecdotes about older adults who'd...
