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:Sunday Speaker Series: Dr. Sarah Ebel ~ "Nos Falta Nada": What Does it Mean to Live the Good Life Under Changing Environmental and Economic Conditions in Southern Chile's Coastal Zone?
DESCRIPTION:Traditional ways of life in southern Chile’s coastal zone in many ways resemble Helen and Scott Nearings’ description of the “Good Life”\, where individuals’ cultural\, economic\, and social well-being are tied to the land\, the sea\, and the communities in which they live.  However\, those ways of life are increasingly impacted by both environmental and economic change\, creating new challenges to and opportunities for living the Good Life. Dr. Ebel has been working in rural coastal communities in Chile for over ten years and will share her research on the resilience and adaptability of rural livelihoods undergoing global change along Chile’s coastal zone\, with implications for our own lives here in Maine. Her work demonstrates the deeply embedded resilience and connectedness people have to the places they love\, and the communities that continue to make and remake those places despite the hardships people face.\nDr. Sarah Ebel is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Social Sciences at the University of New England.

SUMMARY:Sunday Speaker Series: Margot Kelley ~ Gardening at the End of the World
DESCRIPTION:In March 2020\, as I was starting my seeds\, COVID shut down the world. Taking care of my garden took on extra significance for me that year\, as it did for so many folks. That outdoor work was complemented by research into the relationships we humans have long had with seeds and with viruses. As I dug into the histories of plants and pandemics\, I discovered many surprising ways the two are intertwined. I’ll share some of those co-evolutionary tales and talk about what they suggest about our interdependent world.\nMargot Kelley is an author and gardener.

SUMMARY:Sunday Speaker Series: Kyle Warnock ~ Cultivating Community: The Power of Gathering Spaces & The Impact of Belonging

SUMMARY:Sunday Speaker Series: Larry Dansinger ~ What Should the Economy Be For?
DESCRIPTION:Most of us believe we have no control over the economy (“we’re just along for the ride”) and that the current way the economy is structured now is our only option. Neither is true. But\, what IS the purpose of the economy now and\, maybe more importantly\, what SHOULD it be? These questions could be answered especially in light of our knowledge of the Nearings and their lives and beliefs. Results of our answers will be compared to a survey conducted at the polls on Election Day\, 2024. In small groups\, we can consensually re-define what the economy should be for and then at least begin to figure out (or even plan if there is enough agreement) how to re-make the economy as a group and/or individually. We’ll also identify ways to practice the new economy in our day-to-day lives.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Working Safely in the Garden
DESCRIPTION:This hands on workshop is designed to assist gardeners in employing methods and strategies while working in the garden and around the house that reduce strain injuries\, muscle pulls\, and back pain. Learning proper work techniques for such activities as lifting heavy loads and weeding while kneeling will improve one’s productivity and enhance the gardening experience. Yoga teacher David Chapman will lead the participants in stretching exercises that will model proper garden ergonomics and help participants prepare for work with reduced chance of injury.\nThe Good Life Center believes in reciprocity and community; as such\, all possible workshops are sliding scale. See the Sliding Scale ticket if you cannot afford full price.
