    Krista Tippett speaks of hope not as wishful thinking but as a lifeline—a spiritual muscle we build by facing reality with courage and compassion. She often draws wisdom from the natural world, noting how cycles of decay and renewal in nature mirror our own capacity for growth and healing. For Tippett, hope is grounded in presence: a quiet, resilient force that listens, like the earth itself, and holds space for what might yet emerge.

    For the past quarter century Krista Tippett has been pursuing the great questions of meaning that are newly urgent in this century: What does it mean to be human, how do we want to live, and who will we be to each other? On public radio and on the new frontier of podcasting, she has conducted a conversation with wise and graceful lives, some of whom have shifted the world on its axis. Come to LongHouse for an evening of conversation with Krista about wisdom for navigating this tender, tumultuous moment and seeing the generative possibilities of this time to be alive. 

    About Krista Tippett
    Krista Tippett
    is a Peabody-award winning broadcaster, National Humanities Medalist, and New York Times bestselling author.

The On Being Project, which Krista founded in 2013, also engages “quiet conversations” to accompany the generative people and possibilities within this tender, tumultuous time to be alive. She received the National Humanities Medal at the White House in 2014 for "thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence. On air and in print, Ms. Tippett avoids easy answers, embracing complexity and inviting people of every background to join her conversation about faith, ethics, and moral wisdom."Krista grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, attended Brown University, worked as a young journalist and diplomat in Cold War Berlin, and later received a Master of Divinity from Yale. She is the author of three books, most recently Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living.

Though a lifelong nomad (he’s lived in seven countries and four states), Biddle now lives in Springs, N.Y., with his wife, artist Idoline Duke.

    Join us at LongHouse for our annual landscape lecture event, a captivating day of talks exploring the intersection of modernist architecture, landscape design, and cultural history. This year, our special event features renowned scholars Barry Bergdoll, Professor of Art History at Columbia University; Caleb Smith, Professor of English and American Studies at Yale University, and William Whitaker, Curator and Collections Manager of the Architectural Archives of the University of Pennsylvania Weitzman School of Design. 

    Bergdoll will speak about the landscape visions of iconic modernist architects Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, examining how they considered gardens to extend their vision. Whitaker will speak on Harriet Pattison, the influential landscape designer who, among other notable projects, collaborated on the masterful landscape at The FDR Memorial on Roosevelt Island and the Kimbell Art Museum, which features prominently in her book Our Days Are Like Full Years: A Memoir with Letters from Louis Kahn (2020). Smith will offer an illuminating perspective on the work of Russell Page, reflecting on how the celebrated garden designer’s sensibility bridged classical traditions with modernist innovation. Page recorded his observations and practice in his masterpiece The Education of a Gardener (1962). Set within the modernist setting of LongHouse, our event promises to enrich our understanding of landscape in its relationship to modernism. The LongHouse Landscape Legends program focuses on landscape and design, art and architecture. Designed by Jack Lenor Larson (1927-2020), LongHouse is the perfect place for these conversations, a place that inspires living with art in all forms, where nature and creativity are seamlessly connected, and historic ideas meld with modern concepts, is the perfect place to gather in conversations about the landscapes that define our lives.
