Now is the Time for Sacred Ground: Interfaith Conversations About Race
2025-11-28, 2025-11-27, 2025-11-26, 2025-11-25 | Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant Street, Brunswick, ME, 04011, United States
In times like these, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, angry, helpless, or unsure of what to do. With so many urgent and painful challenges unfolding, it can seem like nothing we do makes a difference. Sacred Ground offers space to learn, reflect, and better understand how we got here — and how we can move forward together. This 11-session, film- and readings-based dialogue program helps participants connect the dots between our country’s history and today’s realities, offering the tools needed to engage effectively in the work of racial healing. This program offers not only knowledge and skills, but community — a shared sense of purpose and a reminder that you are not alone in hoping for a more just future.
We have four interfaith groups starting this fall at Curtis Library and hope you will join one. As you look at the dates below, don’t worry if there are one or two meetings of your chosen group that you can’t attend – life happens! Please join the conversation.

Words As Release, Words As Resistance (weekly writing workshop)
2025-11-27 19:15 - 20:15 (America/New_York) | Electric Cottage Collective, 82 Pleasant St, Brunswick, ME, 04011, United States
Words as Resistance, Words as Release
The written word is one of the most powerful tools we have — both for questioning systems of oppression, and finding peace and presence in the now. In this writing workshop, we’ll do both!
Come as you are, with every bit of rage and joy your day has brought, and get ready to release it to the page! For inspiration, we’ll read short passages by writers, activists, and environmentalists throughout history. Then, we’ll work through a new generative writing prompt every week, focusing on resistance or release (or both)! Many of these prompts can be revisited and used as grounding tools throughout your daily life.
No prior experience with creative writing is necessary. Anyone interested in writing, journaling, or exploring new realms of creativity is welcome here!
*18+ only
*Please pre-register at least 2 hours in advance
*Scholarships usually available, just ask

2025-11-27 07:30 - 08:30 | Electric Cottage Collective, 82 Pleasant St, Brunswick, ME, 04011, United States
🧘‍♀️ Slow Flow is a weekly, all-levels yoga class offered on a pay-what-you-can basis—from $0 to $75. This class is all about moving gently and intentionally, blending mindful movement with spacious pauses for breath and rest. Whether you’re new to yoga or a longtime practitioner, you’re welcome just as you are.
At ECC, we believe yoga is so much more than a stretchy workout. It’s a lifelong, spiritual practice rooted in the wisdom of Southeast Asian and African traditions—one that invites us into deeper relationship with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
We do our best to honor yoga’s roots by weaving in teachings on self-awareness, ethics, and collective care—while keeping our classes slow, grounding, and accessible. ✨
🌱 All donations for this class go directly to our Class Scholarship Fund, which helps folks access other ECC classes and workshops. When the fund is thriving, we extend it to support local mutual aid projects too. Got an idea for where it could go next? We’d love to hear it!
💕 And just to be crystal clear: nobody will ever be turned away for lack of funds. Come as you are, and move with us in community.
