Kara McCrimmon, is an educator who was able to forge creative alternative pathways for students desiring to engage in experiential learning not typically offered at a district schools.
The Wabanaki future is one that centers resilience and adaptation. It is one that uses the land as a framework for relations, for the land is the decision making power and as we all become more attentive we listen more closely to the land, the water and are able to live in kinship with a multispecies world.
What does it mean to be “your community learning center”? Many people come to Cobscook to learn, but what separates Cobscook from a school or university is more than our unique location: it’s how we build our programs. It’s the central role that deep connection and community-building play in everything we do.
Welcome to the Fall 2022 Cobscook Currents, the bi-annual newsletter of Cobscook Institute. “Wake” is the theme of this edition. Its dual meanings: “remembrance” and “return to consciousness” can be traced in the lines of the articles that follow. In 2001, during a retreat dedicated to articulating the values of Cobscook, Wayne Newell, a co-founder, inspired the group to place “love” as the central hub of all other facets of our guiding values. We remember Wayne and other important friends recently departed in this edition.
