Brunswick’s young poets take center stage in the 3rd annual Downtown Brunswick Poetry Stroll! The theme of this year’s event is Brunswick: the Poetry Place, with students in all four Brunswick schools writing poems inspired by landmarks and special places in our hometown.

Music in April is THE signature fundraiser for People Plus. It enables us to serve over 1500 People Plus members who represent an ever-increasing population of retirees and elders on the Mid Coast. This non-profit could NOT do it without the income from Music in April – which has become a fantastic signature event in our community. The Center has raised over $725,000 from the event over the last 21 years. These last few years have demonstrated exactly how vital People Plus is to the lives of the older adult populations. In addition to hundreds of classes, clubs and meals held safely at the Center, we made over four thousand deliveries of groceries, food pantry boxes, meals and prescriptions – and provided over 33,000 miles of transportation – just last year, keeping seniors safe!

People Plus serves the greater Brunswick community by offering a variety of activities to support engaged, healthy and independent lives for older adults, as well as hosting the Teen Center where young people can meet safely to explore creative outlets, eat a healthy meal, and develop into well-rounded adults. People Plus also provides outreach and transportation services, and offers many volunteer opportunities.

Sound Healing and Scalar Waves: A Deep & Transformative Experience with Helena Nash

Come to The Healing Spa in Brunswick and relax deeply with the nourishing and beautiful music of singer, sound healer, Reiki practitioner and professional musician Helena Nash, while experiencing the healing frequencies of the Energy Enhancement bioscalar System. Your body will receive energy to help you heal and amplify your vitality.

Helena Nash of Live Lighter will lead a sound healing experience, infused with the energy of Reiki. Her soulful, angelic voice will guide participants into deeper states of relaxation and harmonizing, while participants simply relax. You hold your intention to heal while Helena creates a loving and supportive journey of sound. She will incorporate voice and other instruments which may include Tibetan bowl, Native American flute, and guitar, as well as other frequencies.

Modern science tells us that humans are vibrational. This means that intentional sound and light frequencies can be profoundly healing. Einstein said, “Future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies.” And now the future is here!

Join us to experience the transformative power of frequencies in your life.

2 hour event.

Reframing Historic Arctic Films

FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 2024 | 7:00 PM
Kresge Auditorium, Visual Arts Center

On Friday, April 12 at 7 PM we will focus on contemporary Inuit filmmakers using archival footage in their work. Mark Turner, an historian and media archivist, Willi Lempert, an anthropologist working with Indigenous filmmakers, will lead the dialogue as we screen two short films: Holly Andersen’s Hebron Relocation, and Asinnajaq’s Three Thousand. Each film takes a different approach to using historic footage of the Arctic, and we look forward to an interesting discussion of the ways Indigenous filmmakers are repurposing historic film footage in their own works.

SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 2024 | 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
