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: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
