Jennifer Deraspe will present Loving What Is: The Work of Byron Katie. Jen (who leads Nurture Through Nature Retreats) will demonstrate a simple mental exercise which literally changes our perception, and thereby the negative stories we believe about ourselves and about life. (If this is a concept which interests you and you find you can't attend the Fair on Friday, Ray Reitze will have his own 'take' on the subject at 3:00 on Saturday, also at the Whole Life Tent.)

Nancy has been in practice in Topsham for over 20 years, where she works with EMDR in the context of her general practice of psychology with adults. She writes, "EMDR is unquestionably one of the most powerful and effective methods available to us for reprocessing and healing the aftereffects of trauma. Whether the trauma is large or small, recent or long-ago, the EMDR process of moving through resolution has been described as 'healing at warp speed'. Learn about the hows and whys in which EMDR work can help us move beyond traumatic reactivity into states of higher awareness, clarity and joy."

In our era, most of the food eaten in Maine comes from out of state. But it was only a few hundred years ago that everyone here was on the "Hundred-Mile Diet." It is still possible to live and nourish our selves this way and in his talk, In Search of the Dawnland Diet, Kerry Hardy takes both a look backward at what folks ate before Contact, as well as a look forward at how modern Mainers can use this knowledge to move towards food self-sufficiency.
Kerry Hardy hails from Lincolnville, Maine and has spent a good part of his life zigzagging around the rural corners of Waldo and Knox County-- often on foot, by bicycle, or in a rowboat-- in pursuit of the many pleasures to be found outdoors in the mid-coast area. He counts photography, drawing, hiking, camping, bicycling, hunting, fishing, gardening, skiing, botanizing, and foraging wild mushrooms among his favorite hobbies, but will gladly accept almost any other excuse to be outdoors as well. Like most Mainers, he has held a number of different jobs-- carpenter, landscape designer, gardener, and director of Merryspring Nature Center in Camden and Rockport. He characterizes his life and work thus far as, "very cusp-y; always flitting around the line between art and science, and using the tools of one to illuminate the other." The most recent example of this is his book Notes On A Lost Flute, which combines his artist's eye and love of the natural world with an analytical approach to understanding the language and lifeways of the Wabanaki; people he describes as follows: "They are not anonymous, imaginary, or untraceable; they are, instead, the rightful heirs who have been disinherited from the lovely Camden Hills where I grew up." He is currently at work on another book and lives at Second Mesa, Arizona, where his wife Kristina King is a nurse practitioner at the Hopi Health Care Center.

Barry Dana, former chief of the Penobscot Nation and present activist, along with his wife, Laurie, will speak about Wabanaki Visions. Barry has been a lifelong athlete. He and Laurie participate in 50-kilometer trail runs. Barry says, "I run for visions - to experience that glowing from within, the essence of holiness. But last year, at 50, I had a heart attack. I experienced first-hand that my people's DNA is not designed to handle the European diet. All too often it results in obesity and heart disease. Now, I'm an activist for revitalizing the traditions and culture of the Wabanaki." We don't have to have Native blood to realize that the Standard American Diet is S A D. Barry is a man with a plan. Come listen and dialogue with Barry and Laurie Dana as they lay it out for us.

Margaret & Roger Marshall will present Brain Gym: Move to Improve Productivity, explaining and leading us through simple movements which change old, ineffective patterns of learning and behavior by developing neurological brain integration. These easily-learned activities improve listening and reading comprehension, memory and focus. They are equally helpful to those with dyslexia, ADD and ADHD. (Note: There is a possibility that recovery from knee surgery may prevent Margaret from being able to navigate around the fairground. If this is the case, Beth Stoddard from Portland, who presented last year, will fill in for Margaret.)

Ray Reitze grew up in cental Maine, spending his childhood years with Grandfather, a Micmac Elder. Ray formulated his teachings from Grandfather's, learning how to talk directly with the Creator. Ray's story and philosophy, delineated in his excellent book, "And We Shall Cast Rainbows Upon the Land", is an affirmation of how we aspire to live. When we called Ray to see what he would be discussing this year, he said, "As you grow up, things happen to you, and that's a portion of your identification, your 'story'. They're not true." (Mentally, I gulped. I've long believed that the asthma and eczema I developed as a child of an alcoholic, incestuous father served to create needed space from the craziness of my surroundings. Yet my father is long-gone, and my allergies are not. Oops.) Ray continued, "I've come up with a workbook which helps us figure out how we 'create' who we are." Me: "You mean, like self-fulfilling prophecies?" Ray: "Yes, exactly like that." Looks like the jig is up for me. I'll be in the front row at 3:00 on Saturday - how about you?

Ray Reitz grew up in cental Maine, spending his childhood years with Grandfather, a Micmac Elder. Ray formulated his teachings from Grandfather's, learning how to talk directly with the Creator. Ray's story and philosophy, delineated in his excellent book, "And We Shall Cast Rainbows Upon the Land", is an affirmation of how we aspire to live. When we called Ray to see what he would be discussing this year, he said, "As you grow up, things happen to you, and that's a portion of your identification, your 'story'. They're not true." (Mentally, I gulped. I've long believed that the asthma and eczema I developed as a child of an alcoholic, incestuous father served to create needed space from the craziness of my surroundings. Yet my father is long-gone, and my allergies are not. Oops.) Ray continued, "I've come up with a workbook which helps us figure out how we 'create' who we are." Me: "You mean, like self-fulfilling prophecies?" Ray: "Yes, exactly like that." Looks like the jig is up for me. I'll be in the front row at 3:00 on Saturday - how about you?

In our era, most of the food eaten in Maine comes from out of state. But it was only a few hundred years ago that everyone here was on the "Hundred-Mile Diet." It is still possible to live and nourish our selves this way and in his talk, In Search of the Dawnland Diet, Kerry Hardy takes both a look backward at what folks ate before Contact, as well as a look forward at how modern Mainers can use this knowledge to move towards food self-sufficiency.
Kerry Hardy hails from Lincolnville, Maine and has spent a good part of his life zigzagging around the rural corners of Waldo and Knox County-- often on foot, by bicycle, or in a rowboat-- in pursuit of the many pleasures to be found outdoors in the mid-coast area. He counts photography, drawing, hiking, camping, bicycling, hunting, fishing, gardening, skiing, botanizing, and foraging wild mushrooms among his favorite hobbies, but will gladly accept almost any other excuse to be outdoors as well. Like most Mainers, he has held a number of different jobs-- carpenter, landscape designer, gardener, and director of Merryspring Nature Center in Camden and Rockport. He characterizes his life and work thus far as, "very cusp-y; always flitting around the line between art and science, and using the tools of one to illuminate the other." The most recent example of this is his book Notes On A Lost Flute, which combines his artist's eye and love of the natural world with an analytical approach to understanding the language and lifeways of the Wabanaki; people he describes as follows: "They are not anonymous, imaginary, or untraceable; they are, instead, the rightful heirs who have been disinherited from the lovely Camden Hills where I grew up." He is currently at work on another book and lives at Second Mesa, Arizona, where his wife Kristina King is a nurse practitioner at the Hopi Health Care Center.

Maine is making great strides in reforming the way toxic chemicals are regulated, used, and disposed of. We still have a long way to go but the public is engaging in well-coordinated efforts to promote safer alternatives to the worst of the worst chemicals in the products and food we use and eat every day. Dozens of state-wide public health and environmental organizations, representing more than 100,000 members collectively, are prioritizing comprehensive chemical policy reform in their work plans. Admittedly, “comprehensive chemical policy reform” is a mouthful and a bit wonky, but if you attend this Teach-in at the Fair, you’ll learn that there are many innovative, fun and empowering ways to pitch in to this movement, and to celebrate in the positive change that is taking shape. Whether you’re concerned about pesticides drifting onto your playground, cancer-causing chemicals in your personal care products, toys that could harm your child’s central nervous system, or endocrine disrupting substances in your food packaging, there are many opportunities to engage in efforts to promote a clean and healthy Maine.
MOFGA’s Public Policy Teach-in on Saturday will: explain Maine’s Kid Safe Products Act of 2008, and the ongoing efforts to ban the use of bisphenol A; show how Maine is contributing to federal efforts to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act; highlight the growing toxics activism on college campuses throughout Maine; inspire participants to coordinate local bans on cosmetic herbicide use; introduce fairgoers to advocacy pros who can help with local organizing efforts; and provide an update on the Maine Board of Pesticides Control’s development of a comprehensive pesticide spray notification registry.
Panelists will include: Mike Belliveau, Executive Director of the Environmental Health Strategy Center, and founder of The Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine; Nancy Ross, Associate Professor of Environmental Policy at Unity College, current member of MOFGA’s Public Policy Committee, and past Executive Director of MOFGA; Paul Tukey, author, organic lawncare specialist, publisher of People, Places & Plants Magazine, and producer of the film A Chemical Reaction: The Story Of A True Green Revolution, which highlights successes of the anti-pesticide movement sweeping across Canada and into the U.S.; Meredith Small, Executive Director of Toxics Action Center; and Heather Spalding, Associate Director of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. A question and answer period will follow short presentations by each panelist. Sharon Tisher, Environmental Law and Honors Professor at the University of Maine – Orono, current member of MOFGA’s Public Policy Committee, and past president of the MOFGA Board of Directors, will moderate the panel discussion.

Everyone is for safer food, right? But what if food safety regulations designed to meet the problems and fit the economics of large-scale industrial agriculture (think 5-acre manure lagoons, mechanically harvesting hundreds of acres of lettuce mix, etc.) are applied in a one-size-fits-all manner to small organic farms in Maine as well? Small-scale, sustainable agriculture, noted for not creating food safety problems as well as for being a beacon of hope for rural economies and communities in Maine, is potentially threatened by expensive and onerous food safety legislation designed to "fix" big agriculture.
Join us for an informative panel discussion with: Russell Libby, Executive Director of MOFGA, who has logged countless hours trying to get Congress to understand the big picture; Dave Colson, long-time MOFGA Board Member, President of MOFGA Certification Services, and owner of New Leaf Farm in Durham; Stew Smith, Agricultural Economist at the University of Maine in Orono, and past Maine Commissioner of Agriculture. A question and answer period will follow the panel discussion. Davis Taylor, professor of ecological economics, community sustainability, and economic development at College of the Atlantic, will moderate the panel discussion.

Fredda Paul, Leslie Wood will discuss Healing from Indian Residential School. In Issue No. 3/2010 of their Kuwesi-Medicine News, "A Newsletter Dedicated to Preserving the Heritage of Traditional Medicine", Fredda and Leslie combine stories from Fredda's heritage, traditional ways of healing with photos and sketches of the plants involved, and Passamaquoddy tribal members relating their healing stories. Also included are some of Fredda's experiences at Schubenacadie. Nova Scotia Residential School, where he arrived at age 5, with no contact with family until he returned home, nine years later. The children of this school experienced a lack of decent food, an absence of parental nurturing love, and both physical and sexual abuse. Although the intentiion of these residential schools was to strip away everything "native", Fredda and the other children managed to remember the lessons taught them in their home communities. They were able to claim a spiritual power through visions and dreams; they forged strength by sticking together. Healing is what happens when you help others - this is the path Fredda started on at age 5, and it is the path he continues on to this day, with medicine ways taught by the Elders. Part of the healing process is the opportunity to tell your story, and this gentle, wise, incredibly gifted man has more than earned that right. Fredda's hope is that in sharing, it will help others.

Sylvia Tavares will discuss How to Tame Food Cravings with Meridian Tapping. She says, "EFT - the Emotional Freedom Technique - is often helpful to quickly eliminate food cravings. Cravings are usually the result of our emotions, anxiety and stress. Tapping works like acupuncture by stimulating the energy meridians in your body and bringing you back into balance - without needles. This stress-reducing technique, when applied directly to food cravings, is both simple and effective at relieving the most stubborn food cravings, such as chocolate, salt and sugar. No matter the substance, EFT can dimimish and eleminate the carvings. You will have a tool literally at your fingertips to ease the cravings and be free to make healthier choices. Please do not wear strong perfume or personal care products, as they can block the energy healing ability of EFT."

Ray Reitze grew up in cental Maine, spending his childhood years with Grandfather, a Micmac Elder. Ray formulated his teachings from Grandfather's, learning how to talk directly with the Creator. Ray's story and philosophy, delineated in his excellent book, "And We Shall Cast Rainbows Upon the Land", is an affirmation of how we aspire to live. When we called Ray to see what he would be discussing this year, he said, "As you grow up, things happen to you, and that's a portion of your identification, your 'story'. They're not true." (Mentally, I gulped. I've long believed that the asthma and eczema I developed as a child of an alcoholic, incestuous father served to create needed space from the craziness of my surroundings. Yet my father is long-gone, and my allergies are not. Oops.) Ray continued, "I've come up with a workbook which helps us figure out how we 'create' who we are." Me: "You mean, like self-fulfilling prophecies?" Ray: "Yes, exactly like that." Looks like the jig is up for me. I'll be in the front row at 3:00 on Saturday - how about you?

Dana Tavares will discuss Finding the Right Diet for Your Metabolism. Dana writes, "There is no universal diet that is right for everyone. Your nutritional requirements are as individual as your fingerprints. Quite literally, the foods and nutrients we eat control every aspect of our existence - how we look and feel, our range of productivity and performace, and even our emotional balance. Food and nutrients behave differently in each of us, according to each unique individual's biochemistry. Weight problems, fatigue and low energy, food cravings, chronic health disorders, anxiety and depression can all be related to imbalanced biochemistry which is affected by our food and nutrient choices. Healthexcel's Metabolic Typing is an easy-to-use, proven technology that allows you to rapidly identify your own, highly-individual dietary needs. This extraordinary technology represents the combined efforts of some of this century's leading medical researchers over the past 70 years."
