SUMMARY:Sunday Speaker Series: Kyle Warnock ~ Cultivating Community: The Power of Gathering Spaces & The Impact of Belonging
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.\nKyle Warnock is a photographer and executive director and founder of Queerly ME.

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.
