People teaching people since 1970
Communiversity has been an integral part of the fabric of Kansas City since 1970. This is the Fall
2015 issue #168. Communiversity is published three times per year in August, January and May.
Each issue of this catalog introduces new courses, activities and ways of thinking to encourage
learning and community. People teaching people is an important part of the Communiversity
story and this program would not exist without the numerous conveners who eagerly share their
knowledge, hobbies and experiences with fellow Kansas Citians.

Under Karen’s direction, the Communiversity program will combine tradition with innovation.
She plans to stay loyal to the many classes the program already offers but to also incorporate new
ideas and offerings.
Vincent Tabb
Vincent is a 2015 graduate of UMKC. He came to Kansas City from St. Louis, Missouri. He
chose Kansas City and UMKC because it allowed him to both venture out into the world and stay
connected to family back home. While an undergraduate student, Vincent was active on campus.
He worked in the Chancellor’s office and was a cofounder of the Men of Color on-campus
organization.
Working in the nonprofit sector is a goal of great importance to Vincent and he is excited to bring
his communications experience to the program and to grow his skills and connect with the people
of Kansas City.
“Assisting the Communiversity program is important to me because of my desire to help build
relationships. The people of UMKC were so welcoming to me when I came here and I want to
continue that tradition,” Vincent says.
Look for a special Computer Literacy class taught by Vincent this fall. See p.17 in the
Communiversity catalog.
Heather Burton
Heather is a sophomore studying studio art at UMKC and the creator of this semester’s catalog
cover and the design elements throughout the catalog.
“Art has been my number one passion for as long as I can remember,” she says and she recalls
taking every art class she could in school.
Heather’s passion for art led her to UMKC where she has been able to follow her own path and
express herself in her work. She loves to incorporate different textures and materials in her images
and says that doing so allows her to enhance the story she is trying to tell.
“My inspiration for the cover piece was simple. We were told to draw a hand. We were given no
direction or specific instructions about how the hand was to be formed. The “I Love You” hand
signal has always signified a great deal of love that words cannot express,” she says.
UMKC students are encouraged to submit work for consideration for the catalog. If you are
interested in submitting work to be considered for future issues of the catalog and you are a
current UMKC student, please contact us. Only original artwork will be considered.

Mixed Media Girls
Come meet the new girl in your life!
In this acrylic painting class, we will create an
adorable mixed media girl. I will walk you through
the process of creating a whimsical, folk art girl
using mixed media techniques. We will use acrylic
paint, india ink, stamps, collage paper, and stencils
to create an adorable background. Then, you can
freehand your girl or use my templates if you
prefer. The end piece normally turns out to be a
reflection of yourself which is a really cool process
to see evolve. Your girl will make you smile each
time you see her in your home.

Knitting Basics
Knitting is fun, portable and easier
than you might think. With some string and two
sticks, you can make fabric without a loom, create
fitted garments and make intriguing patterns.
But first you have to learn to cast on, knit, purl,
increase, decrease and bind off. Bring a ball of
worsted weight yarn and a pair of number 8, 9, 10
or 11 needles (large ones are easier to work with
starting out), and we’ll knit up some good times.

21st Century Retirement
Retirement today looks a whole lot different from
the good old days, when people generally retired
at 65 to a life of leisure, supported by a company
pension plan and guaranteed government benefits
such as Social Security and Medicare. In the new
age of retirement, many of us expect that we’ll be
working well past the age of 65. This is particularly
true for baby boomers that have been caught by
the economic and market setbacks of the past few
years. If you have concerns about outliving your
money during retirement, this workshop is for you.

Identify and Develop Your Natural
Abilities
Everyone possess natural abilities or gifts which
will increase individual potential and often increase
personal levels of happiness as well. People often
don’t recognize these natural abilities in themselves
or will minimize the impact that they can have in
their life. In this class, we will look for ways you
can identify what they might be and ways you can
apply them to your life. All you need to bring is a
pen and paper and through this interactive study
you will hopefully find some hidden or dormant
areas of your life worth developing.

Three Demands for Electoral
Reform
Congressional approval never goes over 20%
but 95% of incumbants are reelected. This is
because the electoral system we use limits our
choices as voters and the competition candidates
must face. Three simple demands for change
will fix it so voters choose candidates instead of
candidates choosing their voters. The three changes
will eliminate the spoiler scenario, eradicate
gerrymandering and make all states competitive for
the Presidential election. Come find out what these

Jungian Psychology—An
Introduction
Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist who
founded Analytical Psychology, essentially the
psychology of the unconscious and how the
unconscious impacts us on every level of our being.
Jung was a contemporary of Freud who founded
the school of psychoanalyses, but Jung’s ideas of
the unconscious were vastly different from Freud.
Jung was an avid reader and prolific writer who left
us a 20-volume collected works. Jung’s concepts
help to explain the base level of the human psyche
– what we are, what we are made of, and how the
elements of the human psyche impact us in our
daily life. In the course we will discuss Jung’s ideas
in relation to Freud, Jung’s ideas of complexes,
archetypes, psychic energy, religion, some of the
controversy that seems to surround Jung, and more.
The class will be complimented with video of Jung
himself explaining his ideas.

Practical Book of the Last 100
Years
If you could select only one book to study for your
personal benefit, what would it be? Although we’re
all very different, for many people, an outstanding
selection would be Stephen Covey’s, The 7 Habits
of Highly Effective People. Published in 1989, it is
still a hot seller, with people from all walks of life
reading it, re-reading it, and almost unanimously
being at least a little better for it. At the end of

Shakespeare said that “in life we get the full
catastrophe.” Boy that’s the truth. Developing a
language of comfort reduces anxiety and doubt.
Make life a series of joyful discoveries rather than
a painful sentencing. New cutting-edge research in
the field of interpersonal neurobiology teaches us
how to steer our mind instead our mind steering us.
We don’t have to believe everything our mind tells
us. Hope management generates post-traumatic
growth making now better so that later will be
easier. Developing a basic faith in yourself is a gift
that can’t be repossessed stolen or burnt.
Resilience is how we cope with adversity, fend
off damage and bounce back. Traumas, crises,and
tragedies come in many forms. People benefit
from them in three primary ways. Some people
need adversity, set backs and even trauma to
reach their highest levels of strength, fulfillment
and personal development. Adversity radically
changes our perspective about what matters in life.
Learning how to grow post-traumatically breaks
the contamination sequence that unhealed pain so
generously delivers. We don’t receive wisdom, we
must discover it. Do it while your young in order to
lighten the load.

is Easier

Pagans, Witches and Wizards,
OH MY!
Paganism is an umbrella term that encompasses a
wide variety of religions, belief-sets and spiritual
paths. For some, paganism refers to any preChristian religions, for others it refers to any
polytheistic religion (those that include the worship
of many gods and/or goddesses), for others it
includes both of these and more. The lack of a firm
and agreed definition makes the question ‘What
is paganism?’ a very difficult one to answer. The
Pagan community in Kansas City is represented by
a wide diversity of spiritual beliefs and practices,
and throughout the course of this class we will
delve into some of the different spiritual practices
that make up the Pagan community in Kansas City.
It is my sincere hope that those who attend this
class will walk away with a better understanding of
what Paganism truly is.

in the dust. 2) Stop conflict and confusion in the
mind anytime, anywhere, without effort or idea.

escape. 4) The transformation of the mind. 5)
The transformation of pain. 6) The clearing of
perception. This time it’s the real thing. We will not
waste your time. We will do meditation in class.
