We live in a world where there seem to be constant demands on our bodies and minds. Sometimes the accumulated mental and physical stress can get so overwhelming that it is hard to know how to deal with it all without dissolving into a puddle of anxiety. Keeping a journal can help you create order out of chaos when your world feels like it is falling apart. It can help you to keep track of and work through both physical and mental symptoms. It can help you organize and keep track of any personal or professional projects you may be working on. Daily journaling can help you to keep excess thoughts and worries from overwhelming you and help you to discover your physically and emotionally healthy and authentic self. In this class on Journaling for Total Health & Wellness, your instructor, Stephanie Garrity, will walk you through the various types and styles of journaling to help you find the kind that is best suited to you and your needs.

Make Your Home Warmer and Affordable

July 27th to August 3rd, 2022

Free More Info

This class will cover the basics of house construction, air and heat movement through the house, and how you can easily stop some of the leaks that take 20 to 40% of the heat out of many homes. The value of an energy audit includes how your house heating system is functioning, what are the low hanging fruit you can gather to reduce heat loss, and where are the funds available to do this. Some of these steps you can take yourself to make cold weather clear window inserts,  weather-strip your doors, or close unused vents. Efficiency Maine grants for low income people pay up to $9600 per household for insulation, or up to $3500 for higher income. 7 Rivers Habitat for Humanity partners with Harpswell to repair and keep lower income people in their homes as they age. 7 Rivers H4H also does safety repairs and weatherization in all of Lincoln, Sagadahoc Counties. Your energy audit costs will be paid by Efficiency Maine if you make one of the repairs recommended by the energy auditor.  We encourage you to ask questions you have about improving your home environment and use a resource list for services and more information.

Abstract Painting Studio: Working Large

with Ed Higgins

Jun
15

June 15th to August 17th, 2022

$145 More Info

In this class each artist will be working on one large abstract painting. It can be one single stretched canvas, or made up of a series of canvases hung together as one piece. The course will take you from planning your original concept, through preparatory sketches and drawings. Then you will stretch either a single large canvas (or canvases), and begin painting in your medium of choice. You will sustain the painting for the remaining duration of the 10 week course. The size of your piece is up to you. But fair warning: part of the challenge of the class is figuring out how big to work, and how to work big when you have a limited budget, studio space, materials, and equipment. We’ll strategize about ways to execute, hang, store, and transport larger paintings, too. It is possible to work large… if we put our heads together and work smart! Materials list available.
