an Invitation to Twinkle’s Place: Open House for Women’s March on Maine
Should you seek respite on your journey Saturday – We are here for you!
We know many of our UU friends and compassionate colleagues will be traveling distances on Saturday to attend the Women’s March in Augusta. If you are seeking a place to stop, have a warm cup of coffee or tea, and relax for a short while, perhaps even sit in our meditation room, before you proceed to or from the Maine State Capitol, please know there is a friendly, welcoming home for you to visit enroute.
Twinkle’s Place is just of I-95 in Pittsfield: Exit 150 (40 minutes south of Bangor / 40 minutes north of Augusta).
IF you think you may wish to stop in, let me know and we will be prepared. BUT also feel free to decide spur-of-the-moment depending on how you feel on Saturday.

Standing on the Side of Love: Deescalation and Interventions
Standing on the Side of Love produced this brief training video to assist with deescalation and interventions.
Published on Nov 15, 2016
We are in a different political time that will require different political skills and organizing in coming months and years. Many folks have been asking for skills to deescalate for interventions and attacks that continue to target Muslims, People of Color, Immigrants, LGB people. This is a short primer not meant to be a comprehensive training but an informational entry point for engagement and deescalation using both instincts and discipline to intervene.

Stay tuned for our next Women’s Art & Wine Night gathering!
