Spawned at the dawn of the last century, Berkeley’s Hillside Movement was an open revolt against the mindless consumerism of the Industrial Age. It off ered instead the inspired vision of a home life centered around the arts and creativity, and nurtured by a close relationship to nature. Bernard Maybeck was the chief architect and poet and naturalist Charles Keeler was its chief polemicist, who both lived the life they advocated. Join us for a talk and discussion on this chapter in Berkeley’s history by writer and journalist Tim Holt.
