Camp Ray of Hope is a weekend retreat for grieving Mainers. My eldest daughter and I attended for many years as participants, and for the last several years we have spent the annual weekend volunteering to support others in their grief. There is no cost to attend, programming is available for kids and adults, and there is childcare available for kiddos younger than 3.  My latest publication, a micromemoir published by Five Minutes, was published last week. Five Minutes' submission guidelines require pieces to be exactly 100 words and should be a glimpse into five minutes of a person's life. You can read Sweet Cream here.  See below for information about upcoming workshops with the Peter Alfond Prevention & Healthy Living Center in August and September.  I will be teaching my Writing through Grief workshop through the Hospice Volunteers of Waterville Area on Monday, July 14, 2025, and HVWA will also be offering a number of wonderful, supportive classes and workshops this summer. All of these workshops are FREE to participate in. Please reach out to Rick Darveau at [email protected] to register.  The latest issue of The Red Eft can be read here. The May/June issue features a hike to Sears Island, fun 50th anniversary MWPA video, upcoming botanical dye classes with Junction Garden Farm, some reading recommendations, a writing prompt, and more!  It was really fun to get to be a part of this Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance 50th Anniversary video. Last fall, we met up with the Maine filmmaker Yoon S. Byun for a local hike as part of this project.  In collaboration with All Things Become New (and with funding from the Maine Humanities Council), I'm pleased to share that I will be teaching a FREE Writing through Caregiving Workshop in Presque Isle on Tuesday, June 24. This workshop will be taught in a hybrid format so caregivers may join in-person or through Zoom.  |
