Enjoy the true outdoors with an easy 1.5 mile private nature hike hosted by a pack of loose, well trained German Shepherd Dogs. The hike starts at our farm in coastal Maine and wanders through a network of trails winding through a natural wild Maine forest along streams and through meadows. You will be hiking with a large pack of (5 to 12) loose german shepherd dogs of various ages and they will be wanting to engage you to play and have you s or pet them. Along the walk, there will be wooden bridges over streams, soft forest trails, sometimes mud puddles and slippery footing. Throughout our adventure you will learn tips on hiking with a pack and the way they communicate and what their body language means. Once we return there will be bathroom facilities, snacks and beverages. We will also talk about how we raise and imprint our young shepherds and prepare them as family companions or for Show. Your hosts for the nature walk will be either Jennifer, Tony, Katie or all. We began offering pack walks at our open house for our German Shepherd Breeding program, and because of the enthusiasm and popularity, we decided to host this event through Airbnb. *PRIVATE TOURS CAN BE SCHEDULED* This hike is a carefully selected pack of our own German Shepherds. We do not allow visiting dogs to join on the pack hike.

Blood Moon is an energy work and intuitive guidance practice focused on reweaving interconnection with the natural world, exploring shadow self, grief work and ancestral healing. Healing is performed by the touch of my hands, allowing the flow of energy from a limitless source to you. It is extremely powerful, yet gentle energy that can be easily channeled to yourself just by intention. I also offer space to our guides, the spirits of place, and the ancestors who wish to be present. A healing session can induce an extremely comfortable state of being that can bring alteration in consciousness, support the immune system, help acute (injuries), chronic problems (asthma, eczema, headaches, etc), and aide the breaking of addictions. Please allow breathing room after your session. You will be in a nourished and grounded space, which is best suited to be supported by a nap or light walk in the woods.

You will find Pirate Jack down at the Belfast City Harbor Dock aboard the Back and Forth, a traditional 28ft wooden lobster boat. The perfect iconic vessel to embark on your treasure hunt! Safety first! We will get the safety procedures covered, life vests, pirate hats allocated & seating chosen. Then we will get underway! Once we are out in the bay we will need to flip the old sand timer! We only have 1 1/2 hrs to find the treasure before it is lost to the deep forever. Our only directions are an old treasure map and some cryptic clues that were discovered in the walls of this very lobster boat! There are 8 'X's on the map but only 1 leads to the treasure! Which will it be? How do we find it! Of course...solve the clues and all will be revealed. Together we can work out the clues that will lead us to the right spot where we can haul the treasure chest. The 8 crosses are there to deter us and we might not get it the first time! We need to watch out as the sand timer is flowing. Quick, back to the clues! We have to find the treasure before it is lost and I am sure we will! Other things to note In the interest of safety we take this opportunity to point out that the treasure will contain small pieces

The Stonington archipelago has many route options, so after a safety briefing, we'll have a look at the chart together, and keeping in mind the weather and tidal currents, come-up with a plan for the day. Usually we'll paddle some version of the 'Archipelago Arc' a route strategy that enables us to paddle an 8 to 12-mile loop among the islands, while staying within 2-3 miles from our launch. We'll paddle about an hour at a time and take breaks on islands along the way, looking for a good lunch spot. Some islands have idyllic pocket beaches, while others have great granite slabs, erratic boulders and hiking trails with stunning views. If the group is in the mood for a swim, we can stop at a freshwater quarry pond for a refreshing (warmer than the ocean) dip. If desired, we can pause to learn or refine paddling skills. COVID -19: Check the State of Maine CDC website. Visitors may require vaccination, quarantine or negative test results. Other things to note This trip is suitable for novices or more experienced paddlers. We provide any needed instruction. Tandem or single kayaks are available. We paddle rain or shine. In wind or fog we'll seek the most sheltered routes, but if winds or sea conditions are more than we want, we'll cancel the tri

We will discuss each participant's goal or where they are in their story. I will give a short discussion on children's books and how they have evolved through the years. We will discuss the importance of research and accuracy in details. We will look at books with many words, few words, no words and picture strips and why they work and discuss how each might've been presented in a different way. We will also look at board books, flip ups, flap books, half flaps, books with holes in their pages, and pictorial consequences. We will look at using visual aids, show examples of aids and why they are important. We will discuss plot, characters along with contemporary themes - social values, censorship etc. I will explain the mechanics of making a children's book and show examples of prototypes "called dummies" made by other artists and a series of original dummies from my own work and how they changed during the course of writing them. I provide index cards, explain how to size them, and the rules for a working layout. If time allows, each participant will be able to begin their own dummy considering the title, dedication pages etc. in class or have the materials to take home Other things to note This class will be an outdoor activity. No previous experience is necessary - just a love of bookmaking and an interest in the making of children's books.
