Our 2022 Village Square Dinner at the Square Season:

How We Get Our Groove Back

Americans don’t agree on much these days, except that things really haven’t been going all that very well. Of course the consensus ends there, as fingers shaking with anger point in opposite directions to explain how in the world we got to this place so few of us enjoy. Sure, there are many deserving targets for our wrath, but are we citizens even living up to what a functional democracy expects of us?

Lately we’ve pretty much stopped living out the habits of a free and democratic people, like mutual tolerance, humility and grown-up levels of cooperation and compromise. Our divisions have gotten the better of us and it’s not made us better human beings along the way — we’re isolated, angry, petulant and far surer of ourselves than we ever ought to be.

We say it’s time for a post-pandemic reset, a spring cleaning, a democratic spa retreat of sorts, a year of finding our way back to our better selves (and maybe even to each other) — a year to get our groove back. We’ll be talking about our identities (and how they can lead us astray), happiness (personal and societal) and how we might better pursue the truth in our habits and practices.
