Practice Shinrin Yoku on the forest therapy trail with special spots to sit and connect with nature. Come see the moss rocks wall, the large pine tree, and the many secret spots to visit and discover. Unplug from technology, rest in the silence of the forest, gain clarity or transformations, and simply enjoy the beauty of the Maine outdoors. We will begin with an intention, have time for connecting with the forest using our senses, and end with a tea ceremony. This trail is a secluded place to slow down from our busy lives and practice the art of "being."    We will meet by the trail at 1:15 pm for welcome and introductions.  At that point, the cell phones are turned off and you will begin your journey into the forest to unplug and unwind. For almost 4 hours we will be forest bathing along a special trail that Martina has been creating for forest therapy. There are many spots to sit and enjoy nature. We will enjoy a tea ceremony, snack, and sharing of our experiences.  Our journey will end by 4:45 when we express our gratitude for the forest.

Join professional photographer J.K. Putnam for this full-day workshop on April 25 from approximately 4:30am to 7:30pm. It is designed to maximize learning opportunities and provide guidance on creating the kind of images you want to create. From sunrise to sunset, you will alternate between traveling around Acadia National Park taking photos, and classroom time at the Wendell Gilley Museum where students will discuss a range of topics that lead to successful, self-expressive image-making. There will also be individual instruction based on your goals and your questions. The instructor says: What do I mean when I say, self-expression? Am I talking about art? To be honest I struggle with calling myself an artist. I’m uncomfortable with that title. I’m a photographer. Photographer is a very comfortable title for me. But if I want my photography to be personal, I need to express my emotions, my thoughts, and the stories I want to tell through my imagery. I want to express to you, the viewer, how I connect with the subjects that I photograph. Spaces are limited. Registration is required.

Cyanotype, also call sun-printing, is an early photographic process that produces blue and white prints. It is usually done in bright sunlight, but can also produce beautiful images on overcast days, and can be done indoors with a specialized UV light. You’ll have a chance to try both sunlight and artificial light. In this 2-hour workshop, we will work with 5x7 watercolor paper and will use a variety of objects, including feathers, dried ferns, evergreen branches, paper snowflakes, and chandelier prisms to make winter woodland-inspired scenes. Jennifer Booher is an artist and photographer from Bar Harbor. She has been a Resident Artist with Acadia National Park since 2015, and artist-in-residence with the MDI Historical Society since 2018.

Gentle classes focus on poses which are common to all yoga disciplines, helping you increase your alignment and understanding of each pose as you move gradually throughout the class. Though there is some active engagement and stretching, these classes are more concerned with cultivating deep relaxation and make use of props such as bolsters, pillows, and straps. These classes can be great options for people who are new to yoga.

These yoga classes focus on activating, engaging, and releasing targeted areas of the body. They seek small, gradual changes in the body and are ideal for those wanting to better understand body mechanics, address injuries, or improve performance. This practice cultivates curiosity and reflection and has a greater focus on alignment, strength, length, and breath. These styles often make use of props such as belts, blocks, and blankets, as aids minimize the risk of injury and intensify specific movements.

A California native, Jennifer has taught at the University of Maine-Orono since 2000 where she has served as Director of Creative Writing, co-advisor to The Open Field, and Coordinator of Undergraduate Studies. She is an award-winning poet and author of seven books of poetry, a book of essays, and a memoir. Her work has been included in two Norton Anthologies and in The Best American Poetry 2002. In 2005 she was granted the Lynda Hull Poetry Award from Denver Quarterly, and in 2015 her book The Open Secret was awarded the Poetry Society of America’s William Carlos Williams award and was a finalist for the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. For this PNA, she will be discussing her book For the Good of All, Do Not Destroy the Birds, a blend of literary criticism and memoir that recounts a life spent in the company of birds and poems, intimately attuned to the mysteries of singing. This will be an in-person event, but can also be attended online. We will send a Zoom link to those who choose the online option when reserving space. There will be an artist reception at 6pm. People-Nature-Art is a monthly series that brings artists, writers, carvers, and creative types of all kinds to the Gilley to explore how nature and art interact in their work, and how their art impacts their own approach to nature.
