SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Seeds & Threads by Dr. Rachael M Rollson (as part of the wild apotropaic)
DESCRIPTION:A collage series extending the thoughts of the revolutionary quote ‘they tried to bury us\, they didn’t know we were seeds’ along with trying to make sense in ‘these troubled times’. These days many of us are holding on by a thread. When the thread thins and breaks\, we knot it back together – it’s all we can do. We knot to count the days\, we knot to make do\, we knot to mark the events where we needed to remember our ‘seedness.’ We have all we need inside of us (somewhere) to start anew. \nRachael M Rollson\, Ph.D. Aesthetic Philosophy & Art Theory (IDSVA ‘23)\, MFA: Interdisciplinary Art (Goddard ‘06)\, Board Chair of The Good Life Center is a homesteader\, writer\, and educator with a 30-year art practice in collage\, analog B/W photography\, short film\, and watercolor painting. She/they write on anarchy and ecology\, focusing on the American shift in Western Philosophy toward praxis. \nArtworks are for sale.\nInquire at: rachaelmrollson@gmail.com\nWebsite: loveandangerblog.wordpress.com

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Cultivating Community: The Power of Gathering Spaces & The Impact of Belonging” with Kyle Warnock of Queerly ME
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1950s\, the United States has seen a steady decrease in gathering spaces that effectively foster meaningful\, long-lasting support networks and community belonging. As the country becomes more divided and individualistic\, we see an uptick in isolation and a decline in public health and well-being. In this talk\, explore the three components of community building Queerly ME employs to foster strong support networks and strengthen community belonging for LGBTQIA+ adults in Maine. Dive into what is needed for a gathering place to thrive and lead towards meaningful\, long-lasting community connections. This workshop will have a strong focus on the LGBTQIA+ community in Maine\, and the many sociopolitical obstacles challenging the creation and growth of gathering spaces and how we may overcome those challenges through collective action. \nSuggested donation: $10\nThis event has been cancelled\, we hope to see them here again in the future\, please see their website: QueerlyME.org for other ways to support and find them.

SUMMARY:The Influence of Helen and Scott Nearing: A 50-Year Journey
DESCRIPTION:In 1976\, inspired by the ideas of Helen and Scott Nearing\, Sherrie Lovler and Norm Lee began a back-to-the-land life in upstate New York. They later founded The Good Life Get-Together\, a yearly summer gathering with workshops for those drawn to the back-to-the-land movement and published Homesteaders News magazine for over nine years. Helen and Scott came to the first festival and Helen came again to teach stone wall building. Fifty years later\, Sherrie reflects on how the Nearings’ influence continues to shape her life as a self-employed artist\, poet\, teacher\, and author. \nSherrie Lovler is a writer and artist whose work explores “living simply and sanely in a troubled world.” She is the author of three books that combine her paintings and poetry. Her most recent work\, Distant Voices\, invites viewers to travel through fire\, forest\, silence\, and light—through endings that seek beginnings and beginnings that return us to ourselves.
