The rhythms of family life—how time is spent, what is celebrated, what is remembered, and what is discussed—quietly shape a child’s understanding of the world.What might it look like to recover a different rhythm within the home? A life defined less by busyness and more by leisure in the classical sense—time spent pursuing the highest things that life has to offer.In this lecture, Dr. Timothy O’Malley (University of Notre Dame) will explore how practices of leisure within family life can cultivate wonder, memory, conversation, and gratitude for the world.This lecture is hosted by the Valor Institute for Studies of the Person and Community, which hosts academic retreats, symposia, and lectures to promote a capacious vision of the human person flourishing in authentic community.About the SpeakerDr. Timothy O’Malley is Director of Education at the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and Academic Director of the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy. He also holds a concurrent appointment in the Department of Theology at Notre Dame.He earned his doctorate at Boston College in theology and education, focusing on an Augustinian approach to liturgical formation. Dr. O’Malley is the author of nine books, and his teaching and research engage marriage and family life, catechesis, preaching, and spirituality. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/austin/the-art-of-leisurely-parenting-lecture-by-dr-timothy-omalley/100001984635351762 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Austin - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: Valor South Austin - **lat**: 30.1757358 - **long**: -97.888953 - **full address**: Valor South Austin, 11720 South MoPac Expressway, Austin, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Art of Leisurely Parenting: Lecture by Dr. Timothy O'Malley - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/4af781b5e8ca616254180fab439031ce01ae2c304308bbba9a1ce71aafada5e1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc133559-gmir.jpg?v=1773927576 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Art of Leisurely Parenting: Lecture by Dr. Timothy O'Malley being held? - **A:** The Art of Leisurely Parenting: Lecture by Dr. Timothy O'Malley takes place on Thu, 09 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 09 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Valor South Austin, 11720 South MoPac Expressway, Austin, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Art of Leisurely Parenting: Lecture by Dr. Timothy O'Malley? - **A:** The Art of Leisurely Parenting: Lecture by Dr. Timothy O'Malley is organized by Valor Education. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "The Art of Leisurely Parenting: Lecture by Dr. Timothy O'Malley", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/4af781b5e8ca616254180fab439031ce01ae2c304308bbba9a1ce71aafada5e1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc133559-gmir.jpg?v=1773927576", "startDate": "2026-04-09T18:00:00-05:00", "endDate": "2026-04-09T19:00:00-05:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/austin/the-art-of-leisurely-parenting-lecture-by-dr-timothy-omalley/100001984635351762", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Valor South Austin", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "11720 South MoPac Expressway", "postalCode": "78739", "addressLocality": "Austin", "addressRegion": "TX", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "30.1757358", "longitude": "-97.888953" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join Dr. Timothy O’Malley (University of Notre Dame) for a lecture on how the culture of our homes forms our children’s vision of reality.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-19", "availabilityEnds": "2026-04-09T19:00:00-05:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-19", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/austin/the-art-of-leisurely-parenting-lecture-by-dr-timothy-omalley/100001984635351762" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-19", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-19", "url": "https://allevents.in/austin/the-art-of-leisurely-parenting-lecture-by-dr-timothy-omalley/100001984635351762", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Valor Education", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/valor-education/20038672", "description": "At Valor, we believe a truly human education addresses our deepest longings—to live in authentic communities, to have meaningful friendships, and to grow in wisdom and virtue.
