AURA: OUR PROTECTIVE SPACESUIT
with Mary Schwoerer, Wells-Ogunquit Adult Community Education
Our Aura comprises seven energetic fields that surround the body. Every person’s aura is as unique as a blueprint. Just like other subtle energy systems, it needs to be cleansed, purified and strengthened. Keeping our AURA strong is as important as taking our vitamins. Come and learn about your "protective spacesuit" and practice simple exercises that introduce "boundaries", improve self-regulation, promote self-compassion, strengthen immunity, and keep negative energies from spiraling inward. Classes are highly engaging and FUN. INSTRUCTOR: Mary Schwoerer
Sew for "Dress A Girl"
with NACE Staff, Noble Adult & Community Education
Every girl deserves at least one dress. Since October 2009, "Dress A Girl Around The World" has reached over 81 countries with a recorded number of over one million dresses delivered to girls in need around the world. Recently, we spoke with the Maine DAG Ambassador, Jane, who is in need of help with sewing menstral pads and dresses for girls in need.
We will be holding 9 sewing dates for those who are interested in volunteering their time to sew. You can stay the whole time or for a few hours; any help is appreciated. If there are more requests for sewing days, we will update that information on our website and social media. Feel free to bring a lunch with you; the sewing room at NACE has a refrigerator you can keep your food/drinks in.
We do ask volunteers to please register for the days they wish to come in and sew to be sure the sewing room and supplies are all ready.
Ghosts of a New Hampshire Library and Maryland AirBnB
with Rob Gutro, Noble Adult & Community Education
Experience a public paranormal investigation at the Hunt Memorial Library in Nashua, NH with Rob and Monique Toosoon. Their findings revealed three ghosts that were not associated with the building but chose the building as their residence. Together with other paranormal professionals and members of the public they uncovered a haunted secret love, illicit trysts, a ghostly teenage accident victim and haunted paintings.
In the Ghosts of Linville Manor – Maryland’s Most Haunted House, Rob’s investigation revealed the identities of several ghosts, including one who remains there due to being unjustly accused. This talk details that investigation, provides a glimpse of the home's past, and shares many of the supernatural interactions people have experienced.
