"We're all going to die, so why don't we talk about it? I'm not saying talk about it so incessantly that people generally avoid you, (although you can if you want - I usually do) but rather talk about what we would like our end-of-life experience, our death, and our disposition to look and be like. With clear and concise communication and preparation, you can - and will - create the strongest possibility that you will experience a 'good death.'" -Leona Oceania, from Die Well Death Education

At a Death Cafe, people - often strangers - gather to eat cake, drink tea, and discuss death. Our objective is 'to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their finite lives.' It is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives, or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session. All are welcome - join us!

*Individually wrapped, homemade skull cakelets will be provided.

You do not need to have attended prior classes to attend any of the Death Education series, but please register due to space limitations.

The three-time Tony Award winning laugh riot Lend Me A Tenor follows the misadventures of Max and the Cleveland Grand Opera company. After preparing a lovely reception for Il Stupendo, the greatest tenor of his generation, for a one-night only performance in Pagliacci Max finds his star on the verge of death, the theatre in potential ruins, and worst of all his fiance has a thing for tenors! As Max dons the makeup to stand in for Il Stupendo, hilarity and mischief ensue.

"A furiously paced comedy with more than a touch of the Marx brothers … A marvelous combination of wonderful farcical moments and funny lines." – Time Out

Midcoast Senior College presents its free speaker series, Winter Wisdom, sponsored by The Highlands of Topsham. A look at the challenges that led to conservation successes during a remarkable period of activity from 1990 to 2015. During this time of forest ownership changes, Maine went from about 5% of some form of conservation, to 20% being conserved in some manner. The forces that brought forth this change and the stories of conserving Maine’s North Woods will be described. Karin Tilberg was Staff Attorney and Director of Advocacy for Maine Audubon Society, became Maine Director and then interim Director for Northern Forest, served as Deputy Commissioner of Maine Department of Conservation and worked as a Senior Policy Advisor to Governor John E. Baldacci. Most recently, Tilberg was president and CEO of Forest Society of Maine, retiring in 2024.

Mixed Level Belly Dance:

Authentic Belly Dance, or raks sharqi, is an ancient form of dance. Raks sharqi means “dance of the east” in Arabic. Belly dance celebrates every body type and every stage of life. The dance is proud and powerful and soft and sinewy with elegant and isolating movements emanating from the core. It’s the Pilates of dance. And so much fun! In this Mixed Level (Beginner through Intermediate/Advanced) class, we will work with improvisation and group choreography, as well as continually working with subtleties of technique at whatever level you are.

Please wear comfortable clothing, similar to what you might wear to a yoga class that will allow for free movement and the ability to see your movement. Hip scarves make it even more fun. You can dance barefoot or in a pair of comfortable dance shoes. Zils (finger cymbals) and veils will also be used in class and are available for purchase from the instructor.
