2026-04-30 17:30 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | WHRL Thankful Room, 87 Main Street (parking lot door), Milbridge, Maine, 04658
Many individuals recognize the importance of discussing their end-of-life care wishes, yet few have had these conversations. Have you had that talk? In this session, you will discover more about advanced care planning and how to share this vital conversation with those who matter most in your life. The emphasis will be on:

How to initiate advanced care planning discussions with loved ones.
Choosing the right person to speak for you when you cannot communicate for yourself due to a health crisis.
The importance of updating your documents as your life situation changes.

All attendees will receive a complimentary Five Wishes document, which will guide you through the necessary steps and considerations. Once completed and signed, this document serves as a legally valid advance directive. Join us to ensure that your end-of-life wishes are honored.

This program will be led by Kathy Baillargeon, the Executive Director for Hospice Volunteers of Hancock County, and a Five Wishes Certified Presenter. Previously, Kathy worked for a medical hospice for 13 and a half years. She has been doing presentations for 30 years and was recently certified as a Five Wishes presenter. She also managed volunteers for 30 years before coming to HVHC. She enjoys the outdoors, and hiking is her greatest love. Kathy lives in Bangor with her partner, Tom, and their cat, Greta. She has had many experiences in end-of-life support, both professionally and personally.

Cookie Horner, is a retired nurse, and Five Wishes Presenter. She is a Patient Care, Bereavement, and Intake Volunteer. Cookie has been a volunteer with Hospice Volunteers of Hancock County for 20 years.

About Janet Starr
Janet has been a lifelong fiber enthusiast. Her initial fiber interests were sewing and quilting. Janet was introduced to rug hooking in 2016 after glimpsing the most beautiful carpet bag she had ever seen. She chased down the owner and learned that it had been hand-made. She has been hooked ever since! She is now a regular attendee of classes,” hook-ins”, and community gatherings. Janet enjoys acquiring new techniques, but is consistently drawn to pictorials. She and her husband recently moved from Vermont to Freeport, Maine, as they had run out of floor and wall space for her creations. This accomplished and talented fiber artist is excited to share her passion for rug hooking with the WHRL community.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
2026-04-15 | WHRL Thankful Room, 87 Main Street (parking lot door), Milbridge, Maine, 04658
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Leader: Lizzie Cunningham
Evenings: Wednesdays, 6-7:30 – (4/15, 4/22, 4/29)
Afternoons: Thursdays, 3:00-4:30 – (4/16, 4/23, 4/30)
Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.
But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond’s big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.
Soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the smart, warm, and uplifting story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes the only way to survive is to open your heart.
Registration opens September 1st.

Book Groups are open to anyone age 18 or older for whom "woman" is a meaningful identifier or lived experience.
Our book discussion group meets for three sessions. Please register only if you can commit to attending all sessions.

Mending Cafe
2026-04-14 18:00 - 20:00, 2026-03-10 18:00 - 20:00, 2026-02-10 18:00 - 20:00 | WHRL – 87 Main Street (front door)
Have you always wanted to learn how to mend your clothes? Do you have a pile of clothes you love that need a little TLC before you can wear them again? Are you a seasoned mender looking to meet and connect with others? There is a place for you at WHRL’s Mending Cafe! Share your favorite technique for putting a patch on your jeans, sewing on a button, darning your knitwear, and more! Some repairs may benefit from the use of a sewing machine; we will always have at least one available.
We welcome all skill levels to this program. Although this will not be a class, there will be menders who can help you brainstorm ideas for your repairs. We will have some tools and materials available, but we recommend bringing your favorite sewing notions from home. We will have plenty of fabric scraps, embroidery floss, yarn, and iron for pressing. We will also have some of our favorite books on mending techniques available for in-class use and inspiration!
Please note that this program will take place monthly on the second Tuesday of each month on a drop-in basis.

Birding 101
2026-04-11 14:00 - 15:30 | Milbridge Commons Wellness Park, Main Street, Milbridge, ME, 04658, United States
April is the perfect month to learn a new bird by song or sight because they seem to show up one by one this time of year, giving us a chance to really notice individuals. This mellow outing will provide optional sitting or standing activities to help you notice details about birds, to help you build some birding superpowers you can use anywhere. This program is low-movement, and you can enjoy it seated or standing. Wheelchairs welcome! For this outing, you will need to move from your car in the parking lot to the grassy park area of the Milbridge Commons Wellness Park. The park is ringed by a 6′-wide trail with a deep gravel base topped with stone dust, which makes it easier on the joints than pavement. For people who use wheelchairs, Maine Trail Finder’s Accessibility Ambassador, Enock Glidden, has created a rating system in Wheelies. This outing qualifies as “Wheelie Easy.” See here for more information. For those who would like to move around more, you will also have the opportunity to do so. Wear clothing and footwear to keep you warm and dry during this slower-paced program, and a lawn chair if you’d prefer not to sit on a stone bench or the ground. Please reach out to Lizzie at 413-717-7827 with any further questions.
OWL Outings are led by Registered Maine Guides at Maine Outdoor School who all hold a minimum of a Wilderness First Aid certification. To learn more about MOS’s guides, visit https://www.maineoutdoorschool.org/staff.

Planning an Insectary Garden
2026-04-11 11:00 - 13:00 | WHRL Thankful Room, 87 Main Street (parking lot door), Milbridge, Maine, 04658
Create a garden full of beauty and life that fosters health, connection, and supports a flourishing landscape and diverse natural communities. Planting an insectary garden helps us to balance our domesticated gardens with the wild spaces that surround them, working with, rather than against nature. By attracting and welcoming a variety of insects and other creatures (such as hummingbirds, butterflies, and amphibians) to the garden we can provide natural pest control, boost pollination for better yields, improve soil health, and reduce our reliance on harmful chemical pesticides. In this workshop you will learn how to make your garden a welcoming habitat by providing nesting sites, shelter and security, host plants for eggs and larvae, nectar plants, and water.
This program is free; space is limited and registration is required.
Registration opens February 1st.

Mark Grant is Incredible Edible Milbridge Coordinator at WHRL and he gardens at Milbridge Commons Wellness Park and Red Barn Motel.

Budgeting & Emergency Planning for Real Life
2026-03-30 18:00 - 19:30 | Remote on Zoom
Welcome to the second installment of Everyday Money Skills: A Community Series, led by Michele Eden Montas. This series is designed to reduce financial stress, build confidence, and provide realistic tools that reflect how people actually live and work in Downeast Maine. Financial health is a critical, often-overlooked part of overall well-being. This program approaches money without judgment or assumptions, recognizing that people’s financial difficulties are shaped by more than personal decisions. Participants are welcome to attend the entire series or hop in just for the programs that appeal to them! For more information, reach out to Lizzie at lizzie@whrl.org or by phone at 413-717-7827.

April 20: Debt – Avoiding Traps & Making a Plan
April 27: Credit & Savings – Making Money Work for You
May 4: Local, State & Federal Financial Resources
May 11: Taxes, Retirement & Investing – The Basics

This program’s focus will be on practical budgeting and planning for low, variable, and seasonal incomes, including what to do when things go wrong.
Why This MattersIn Downeast Maine, financial stress often comes not from everyday expenses, but from unexpected events: car repairs, heating emergencies, medical bills, or sudden changes in work. Emergency planning is about preparation and options, not perfection.
Topics Covered

Budgeting with different income levels
Needs vs. wants (without judgment)
Micro-goals: small changes that actually stick
Prioritizing bills when money is tight

Local Lens

Seasonal fishing, agriculture, tourism, caregiving, and service work in Downeast Maine
Transportation and heating as critical budget categories

Cash Flow & Seasonal Income

Creating a cash-flow calendar
Managing uneven paychecks and seasonal work
Planning ahead for lower-income or off-season months
Smoothing income and expenses over time

Emergency Planning (When There’s No Extra Money)

Emergency planning vs. emergency savings
Common financial shocks in rural Maine
First-line defenses when something unexpected happens:
Expense triage: what must be paid first
Which bills can be paused, negotiated, or be deferred
Using savings, community resources, or credit carefully
Avoiding high-cost, high-risk debt in emergencies
Building a starter buffer over time, even small amounts

Activities

Budgeting templates

Exploring Wellness through Mindfulness with Britta Sunde
2026-03-28 09:00 - 12:00 | WHRL Thankful Room, 87 Main Street (parking lot door), Milbridge, Maine, 04658
This program is open to all.
Join Britta Sunde for a wellness course that explores the importance of mindfulness and its crucial role in our physical and mental health. Within all of us lies the wisdom to heal and to be well. Oftentimes, the reason that we don’t heal or feel our best is that we don’t know how to get out of our own way. Unhealthy habits, negative thought patterns, or simply being unaware can all be hindrances that we create for ourselves!
Britta will lead a discussion of mindful eating, nutrition, self-care practices, stress management techniques, and more. You can expect to come away with concrete ideas for taking better care of yourself and integrating mindfulness into your daily life. You will learn practical tools to improve and protect your health, and you will explore how to listen and respect the subtle signals our bodies and minds are so often sending us – signs that something is out of balance and needs attention, asking us to make changes such as slowing down and making time to take better care of ourselves – BEFORE we become ill.
This class is designed for anyone who would like to improve their overall well-being or explore personal growth through self-awareness practices. Britta will incorporate gentle stretching into this program, so come prepared for some light movement. This is a welcoming and judgment-free zone.
Please plan to bring the following with you to class:

Blanket
Comfortable clothes
Yoga mat

Britta Sunde is dedicated to improving her patients’ wellness journeys in Downeast Maine. Britta has 30 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist and has expanded her practice to include yoga instruction since 2019. Learn more about Britta on her website here.

Life in the Field vs Forest
2026-03-21 12:00 - 14:00 | Ball Field Preserve, Hancock
What life exists in the field vs. the forest, especially in early spring? These two ecosystems provide different things to the variety of birds, mammals, insects, and plants in the area, especially as the days get longer and warmer. We’ll compare and contrast the benefits of each ecosystem this time of year and try to figure out whether there’s more biodiversity in the field or the forest. In OWL outings, frequent stops are built into the program to discuss elements of the natural world that we learn about on the way. The pace is always determined by the needs and desires of the group, with a primary goal of going slow to enhance our connection with nature and each other. This is an easy, slow walk* with no elevation change over mostly flat terrain with some raised tree roots and bog bridging that can be slippery depending on conditions. More information about the trail can be found here: https://crabtreenecklandtrust.org/visit-preserves/ball-field-sam-ball-woods/. Snowshoes are available by request and as needed. Bring warm winter layers, including waterproof, insulated boots. As a base layer, long johns (wool or synthetic) are recommended under bulky, warm mid-layers and water- and windproof outer layers, including mittens/gloves and a hat. Bring a comfortable backpack to carry extra layers and water in. Questions about how to prepare? Just ask! We have extra gear to share.
OWL Outings are led by Registered Maine Guides at Maine Outdoor School who all hold a minimum of a Wilderness First Aid certification. To learn more about MOS’s guides, visit https://www.maineoutdoorschool.org/staff.
*To determine the difficulty level of outings, we use Maine TrailFinder’s difficulty rating system. For more detailed information about these difficulty levels, including visual examples, explore the rating system here.
Gear LibraryWHRL and MOS have a gear collection for OWL outings. Please reach out directly to Lizzie at 413-717-7827 or by email at lizzie@whrl.org if you are interested in using any of the items below. Use is first-come, first-served. Need something that you don’t see on the list below? Reach out!

Foundations - Money Mindset & Confidence
2026-03-16 18:00 - 19:30 | Remote on Zoom
Welcome to the first installment of Everyday Money Skills: A Community Series, led by Michele Eden Montas. This series is designed to reduce financial stress, build confidence, and provide realistic tools that reflect how people actually live and work in Downeast Maine. Financial health is a critical, often-overlooked part of overall well-being. This program approaches money without judgment or assumptions, recognizing that people’s financial difficulties are shaped by more than personal decisions. Participants are welcome to attend the entire series or just the programs that appeal to them! For more information, reach out to Lizzie at lizzie@whrl.org or by phone at 413-717-7827.
Interested in attending more programs in this series? Here is the full list of upcoming programs, all of which take place on Mondays from 6-7:30 pm:

March 30: Budgeting & Emergency Planning for Real Life
April 20: Debt – Avoiding Traps & Making a Plan
April 27: Credit & Savings – Making Money Work for You
May 4: Local, State & Federal Financial Resources
May 11: Taxes, Retirement & Investing – The Basics

This program’s focus will be on understanding the foundations – money mindset and confidence.
Why This MattersMoney is one of the biggest sources of stress and one of the least talked about. Shame and avoidance can prevent people from accessing help or making progress.
Topics Covered

Why money feels taboo to talk about (and why that’s not your fault)
Common beliefs: “I’m bad with money,” “I’ll never get ahead”
How income, caregiving, and systems shape financial outcomes
What money represents personally (security, freedom, stress, survival)

Activities

Reflection exercise: personal money stress triggers
Goal-setting: what participants want from this series

Takeaway
Participants will leave knowing they are not alone and that they are capable of building financial skills.

Lessons in Chemistry
2026-03-10 | WHRL Thankful Room, 87 Main Street (parking lot door), Milbridge, Maine, 04658
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie GarmusLeader: Pat OlsenWednesdays, 6-7:30 – (3/11, 3/18, 3/25)Tuesdays, 3:00-4:30 – (3/10, 3/17, 3/24)
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans, the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize–nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.
But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.
Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.
Registration opens February 1st.

Book Groups are open to anyone age 18 or older for whom "woman" is a meaningful identifier or lived experience.

It’s March, and spring is upon us! Maybe… just maybe… your hardy greens and perennial herbs are stirring, thinking about poking up their brave heads. To encourage their arrival and to honor the change of seasons, Ora Aselton is going to dive into the many ways a humble spring chicken can be transformed into a multitude of dishes and salads that play well with early lettuces, cabbage, and savory herbs. In the process, we’ll be visiting some culinary flavors from California, France, Asia, and India. It’s going to be a fun trip!
While we’re at it, we’ll examine the budget… As food prices continue to rise, making the most of your leftovers makes more sense than ever. We’ll break down the cost of that spring chicken, which generously feeds you for a week.
Recipes will be included, plus ideas for other delicious chicken makeovers.

Health and Cancer Screenings for Women: An informational program to empower decision-making
2026-03-05 18:00 - 19:30 | Remote on Zoom
Note: This program is remote on Zoom
Open to anyone 18 and up for whom the word woman is a meaningful identity or lived experience.
Join Nurse Practitioner Mary Seterdahl for an informational session covering current guidelines for cervical, breast, colon, and lung cancer screenings, as well as bone density scans.
It can be overwhelming to consider all the different screenings and tests our medical provider recommends at our annual well visit or that we hear about in the media. This informational session will cover the current guidelines for cervical, breast, colon, and lung cancer screenings, as well as bone density scans. What do they tell us and not tell us? How are they done? At what age should I have a particular screening? What happens next if I have a positive result? Information is empowering, and the goal of this presentation is to provide accurate, up-to-date, clear information. There will be plenty of time at the end of each segment to answer participants’ questions.

Facilitator Bio: Mary Seterdahl, FNP-C is a Nurse Practitioner in Western Massachusetts specializing in Primary Care and Family Practice. As an RN, she worked in Cardiac Telemetry, Medical Surgical, and College Health. As a Nurse Practitioner, she works at a Family Practice in Greenfield, MA and at Smith College, an all-women’s college. Working with individuals throughout their life span and focusing on preventative health, Mary finds helping patients navigate decisions about health and cancer screenings highly rewarding and potentially life-saving. When not working, Mary enjoys practicing yoga, cooking, reading, and spending time with her family and her dogs.

Presence and Awareness: A Introduction to Vipassana Meditation
2026-02-26 18:00 - 18:30 | WHRL – 87 Main Street, 87 Main Street, Milbridge, ME, 04658, United States
Series Schedule

Three 30-minute sessions
Thursdays, February 12, 19, and 26
6-6:30 pm
In case of inclement weather, this program will be held on Zoom.

“I’ve experienced a great deal of pain and suffering in my life …… most of which has never happened.”~Mark Twain
Meditation is a mind and body practice with a long history of use to increase calmness and physical relaxation, improve psychological balance, cope with illness, and enhance overall health and well-being.
Vipassana, meaning “clear-seeing” or “in-sight,” is a meditation technique that develops awareness of the present moment. This three-session introduction to Vipassana practice offers beginners a foundational understanding of mindfulness meditation, focusing on cultivating awareness of breath and bodily sensations. Through guided instructions and simple techniques, participants will learn how to develop greater concentration and insight, paving the way for deeper self-awareness and emotional balance.

Why Meditate?

It can help those who feel jerked around by their emotions, whose repetitive daily thoughts aren’t serving them, and who tend to react rather than respond.
It may help you experience life with less reactivity, greater emotional regulation, and deeper understanding and control of your thinking and behavior.
It can help with feelings of overwhelm, defeat, and inner conflict.
It offers a sense of calm, acceptance, and concentration.

Who Is This Series For?

Anyone new to meditation
Longtime students looking for a refresher
Anyone who thinks they can’t meditate
Anyone suspicious that meditation is too woo-woo
Anyone who feels they don’t have time to meditate

This series will be led by Meaghan Lamothe, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, caring for patients across the lifespan, from pediatrics through geriatrics. She began practicing in Maine and now works in Southeast Alaska, predominantly with the Alaska Native population. She is passionate about getting to know her patients to help them achieve health and wellness. Meaghan has been practicing Vipassana meditation for 15 years.

Chair Yoga with Geri Valentine Begins - Winter Session 2
2026-02-18 16:00 - 17:00 | WHRL Thankful Room, 87 Main Street (parking lot door), Milbridge, Maine, 04658
When: Wednesdays, beginning February 18th (5 sessions)Time: 4:00-5:00 pmCost: $10 per session ($50 paid in advance)
Chair yoga allows us to enjoy yoga benefits while sitting securely in a firm chair. We still have to do the work, but we are seated in a chair or standing next to it, using our hand for support. This makes the practice available to those of us who can’t easily get up and down from the floor, have had knee or hip replacements, suffer from dizziness, and struggle with balance — lots of us!
With practice, our bodies become stronger and more flexible. Our breathing slows and deepens, our postural alignment improves, and we begin to cultivate an inner field of quiet and self-compassion. These benefits bring vitality to our systems and a feeling of being at home in our bodies.
Chairs are provided. Please wear comfortable clothing, in layers, for warm and cool conditions. Elastic waistbands are essential to prevent breath obstruction. Sneakers are good, and shoes may stay on during practice. If you have yoga blocks, please bring them. No mat is needed.
Geri Valentine is the instructor for this series. She is certified in both Yin and Kripalu Yoga, forms of Hatha Yoga. She has offered Yoga through WHRL for 18 years. This Chair Yoga session is a modified version of Hatha.
For questions, contact Geri Valentine at 207-598-5355.
Registration opens January 22nd.

Presence and Awareness: A Introduction to Vipassana Meditation

“I’ve experienced a great deal of pain and suffering in my life …… most of which has never happened.”~Mark Twain
Meditation is a mind and body practice with a long history of use to increase calmness and physical relaxation, improve psychological balance, cope with illness, and enhance overall health and well-being.
Vipassana, meaning “clear-seeing” or “in-sight,” is a meditation technique that develops awareness of the present moment. This three-session introduction to Vipassana practice offers beginners a foundational understanding of mindfulness meditation, focusing on cultivating awareness of breath and bodily sensations. Through guided instructions and simple techniques, participants will learn how to develop greater concentration and insight, paving the way for deeper self-awareness and emotional balance.

Why Meditate?

It can help those who feel jerked around by their emotions, whose repetitive daily thoughts aren’t serving them, and who tend to react rather than respond.
It may help you experience life with less reactivity, greater emotional regulation, and deeper understanding and control of your thinking and behavior.
It can help with feelings of overwhelm, defeat, and inner conflict.
It offers a sense of calm, acceptance, and concentration.

Who Is This Series For?

Anyone new to meditation
Longtime students looking for a refresher
Anyone who thinks they can’t meditate
Anyone suspicious that meditation is too woo-woo
Anyone who feels they don’t have time to meditate

This series will be led by Meaghan Lamothe, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, caring for patients across the lifespan, from pediatrics through geriatrics. She began practicing in Maine and now works in Southeast Alaska, predominantly with the Alaska Native population.
