The Academy for Lifelong Learners celebrates curiosity, growth, and community. This one-day event invites adults age 55 and better to engage in thought-provoking workshops, enjoy an inspiring keynote presentation, and connect with others who share a passion for learning and living life to the fullest.

Participants can explore a variety of topics—nature, culture, personal growth, and health and wellness—led by knowledgeable presenters who make learning exciting and accessible. Between sessions, enjoy conversation, refreshments, and opportunities to discover local organizations and businesses in our sponsor gallery.

Welcome our keynote presenter, Richard Kyte!

Finding Your Third Place

Join Richard Kyte for a thought-provoking keynote on how the everyday places we gather can foster belonging, strengthen relationships, and bring communities to life. Drawing from his book Finding Your Third Place, Kyte explores the “third places” beyond home and work where trust is built and meaningful connections grow—offering an inspiring look at how shared spaces can help us feel more engaged and supported.

Richard Kyte is a nationally recognized author, podcaster, and Endowed Professor of Ethics at Viterbo University.
