Program Details

The Location
Over the past two years, the weekly classes have been held at The Nature Conservancy Maine Chapter’s beautiful Conference Room overlooking the Androscoggin River, and the All-Day Retreat has been held at Chewonki. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and workplace safety requirements, all aspects of the Fall 2020 Program will be delivered via Zoom. Participants are required to have a video camera and a computer that can run Zoom.
