This lecture will cover the Sinking of the USS Eagle 56 in Casco Bay, in World War II. The ship was attached to the Brunswick Naval Air Station and the wreck was discovered just a couple of years ago. The talk will include the Stories From Maine video made by the lecturer, which premiered on Amazon Prime in 2020-2021. And, Maine singers/songwriters Stan Keach and Jeff Trippe wrote and recorded an original song about the sinking, just for the video. A telling of the sinking appeared in Stories From Maine, and then the documentary was made. Program will include lecture, followed by a 40-minute video presentation and a Q&A afterwards.

Drawing on several classical traditions, this class provides preparation and instruction for a suite of postures and transitions to support an integrated asana (physical) practice. Classes incorporate deep stretching to develop flexibility, range of motion exercises to enhance mobility, posture sequences and holds to build strength, and balancing to improve stability. Sessions begin with centering, end with guided meditation, and integrate pranayama (breathwork) throughout - both in stillness and movement. The class will provide options for students of all ages, levels of experience, and body types. This class provides the opportunity for newcomers to discover what yoga is all about, and for longtime students seeking to revive or deepen their practice. Please bring a yoga mat and wear clothing suitable for movement.

Exploring the 2nd dimension: A week of drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage

There are so many ways to go about making a drawing or painting. Get ready to draw with an eraser, dip a stick in ink, and layer marks in charcoal and chalk. We’ll go over color-mixing, draw with paint, look at how artists build a painting, and try different underpainting colors. We’ll learn some fun printmaking techniques, and experiment with collage. At times we’ll work from observation, but we’ll also explore working from invention, and abstraction. Join us as we explore the second dimension!

Materials included.

Sessions 1 and 2 will NOT be a repeat of each other. Though the focus for both sessions will remain on exploring the 2nd dimension.
