Today Team Calais planted hazelberts trees behind the Maple Corner Community Center as a food source for the entire community, thereby reaching one of our team goals. And what a glorious day we had for it! After planting the trees and speaking blessings over them, we had a small celebration with food and drink. A beautiful co-operative effort by a group of committed environmentalists!

Sunday 4/26 5:00am to 6:00am, Calais - at different homes each week, Calais
Meditation has become a regular part of my life. It has made significant changes in my attitudes towards people and situations. But most significantly, it has helped me to nearly eliminate my chronic insomnia. 20 to 30 minutes of meditation before bed send my off to Dreamland in record time (at least for me)! Calais also has a meditation group that meets every Sunday evening from 5 - 6 at the members' various homes. I attend that every Sunday night that I can.
