Journey into the enchanting realm of Middle-earth at the Adeodatus Winter Forum Tolkien event on January 4, 2025. Set in the historic Castle Green in Pasadena, this immersive experience promises a day of literary wonder and scholarly insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From 9 am to 11 pm PST, delve deep into Tolkien’s rich tapestry of lore and legend. Engage with leading experts as they explore the profound impact of Tolkien’s works on education and culture. Nine carefully curated sessions will illuminate the educational value of Tolkien’s writings, demonstrating why students should follow and reflect on the transformative journey through Middle-earth and beyond together. Breaks throughout the day will provide ample opportunity for fellowship among the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day will culminate with the world premiere of a play by emerging playwrights Benjamin Trull and John Turrentine. Commissioned exclusively for this event, the play weaves a compelling narrative of recent liberal arts graduates navigating the challenges of \u201creal life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
