In OCtober 2021, three mediums from Inspired Ghost Tracking (IGT) were called to this luxury bed and breakfast to investigate an entitiy in the basement of the home that appeared three weeks prior. The mediums also encountered as many as at least 7 other ghosts and helped one to cross over. The mansion's history dates back to the 1600's but it was enveloped by a tragedy that medium's encountered inside and outside of the house.

Sea kayak to mysterious Malaga Island where indigenous people summer camped and where there was a colony in the late 1800’s that was evicted by the state of Maine. We’ll meet at 8:15am at a public boat launch, get outfitted for our paddling trip and go over safety rules and basic strokes. We’ll paddle 1.5 miles to Malaga Island. While paddling, be on the lookout for harbor seals, sea gulls, great blue herons, snowy egrets, sea ducks, osprey and possibly bald eagles. After landing we’ll hike the 1.2 mile trails of the island. We’ll have the lunch/snacks that you brought at the southern tip of the island. After finishing our hike, we’ll paddle back and return about 2pm. Kayaks, life jackets, and paddles are provided. You need to bring a very small backpack with your lunch, snacks, extra clothing layers, two 20 – 22 ounce bottles of water and possibly a change of shoes for your hike. If you are unable to walk unaided over tree roots and rocks, do not book this trip. All paddling gear is provided for this beginner friendly tour.

Be delighted by all that is growing and flying about in the city of Saco, located on beautiful Wabanaki land. Nature is prolific here and will pop up through the cracks in the sidewalks and on the edges of the street. We will look closely at what is growing and meet many native and invasive plants, as well as learn about what birds are migrating through town. Learn to look closely, both down at the plants and up at the trees, and learn to identify summer plants and birds that you may have in your own backyard. This walk will mostly be on sidewalks, but nearer to the river there is a section with many stairs. The section with stairs will take 15-20 minutes, and those who want to skip that part will have access to benches to wait upon. Registration closes at noon on 5/27. Wear comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and an optional brimmed hat or cap (which helps with both sun and bugs). Bringing binoculars is highly encouraged! Walk starts promptly at 4pm. Rain date 5/29, 4-6pm.

Note: Please communicate any accessibility concerns at registration, and we will ask Laura to contact you to discuss any needed accommodations.

Laura Grover is a plant and bird hobbyist, botanical illustrator for Fedco Seeds, and a mindfulness ambassador. She has led many plant identification and mindful foraging walks for people of all ages.
