SUMMARY:Maine's Untold Vegetarian History
DESCRIPTION:After a successful run in Portland\, the exhibition Maine’s Untold Vegetarian History travels to The Good Life Center in Brooksville for the 2026 season.

SUMMARY: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

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.

SUMMARY:Swordfish in Wabanaki Homeland
DESCRIPTION:Archaeological sites along the Maine coast show that swordfish existed in the Gulf of Maine between approximately 5\,500 and 3\,700 years ago. Excavations at multiple Maine sites have produced swordfish rostra\, vertebrae\, and other remains\, indicating that Wabanaki ancestors harvested and processed these large fish for millennia. In this presentation\, Dr. Bonnie Newsom will discuss the presence of swordfish in Wabanaki homeland and what these archaeological data reveal about past marine conditions\, Wabanaki fishing practices\, and how climate change affected local ecosystems. Through archaeological study of swordfish remains from the Gulf of Maine\, we can appreciate the sophisticated relationship Indigenous peoples had with swordfish specifically\, and the marine environment more broadly. \nDr. Bonnie Newsom is a member of the Penobscot Nation and an archaeologist interested in the pre-contact lifeways of Wabanaki peoples. She is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Associate Faculty in the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine. She and her husband Les are both military veterans and they live in Eddington\, Maine. \nSuggested donation: $10

SUMMARY:Mobile Commoning: How Sharing is Caring in a Climate Hope World
DESCRIPTION:This talk considers the history of “commoning” as a way in which generations of people around the world and right here in Maine have resisted private property\, settler colonialism\, and enclosure by moving more lightly across places\, from swamps and forests to urban edges and oceans. Can sharing energy\, food\, and transport help us achieve more ethical relations of trans-species climate justice? \nMimi Sheller is an internationally recognized scholar in mobility studies—movement and migration\, Caribbean studies\, climate adaptation\, and the politics of mobility. She is the Dean of The Global School at Worcester Polytechnic Institute\, and a part-time Brooksville neighbor. \nSuggested donation: $10

SUMMARY:Loving and Leaving the Good Life
DESCRIPTION:Helen Nearing’s last full book\, Loving and Leaving the Good Life (1992)\, insists that how we live and how we die are not separate questions. Kate Braestrup has spent her life walking alongside people in their hardest moments and arriving at something like the same conclusion. In this talk\, she will reflect on grief\, presence\, and what it means to face mortality. \nReverend Doctor Kate Braestrup is a Unitarian Universalist minister and bestselling author of many books\, including the award-winning memoir\, Here If You Need Me. She has spent over two decades as chaplain to the Maine Warden Service—accompanying wardens and grieving families through loss in the deep woods. \nSuggested donation: $10
