Theme: Rhythm(s): Past Present Future

We explore all sorts of rhythms of life. Biological, geophysical, seasonal, musical, and all parts of life with rhythms. Five speakers and two clips from TED were included in the program that made this first TEDx event for West Chester entertaining and enriching. We focused first on rhythms of the past, moved into the present, and finally into rhythms of the future.
