Meeting of Maine Coast Men - Oct 12-14, 2007 Lincolnville, ME
The Gathering
A typical weekend is very informal. MCM's is in a remote wooded area on a river with enclosed bunk houses and gathering rooms. It begins with a Friday night potluck and a voluntary "check in." Saturdays offer workshops which are conducted by other members who volunteer. In the past their have been workshops about anger, living single, relationships with fathers and sons, spirituality, co dependency, homophobia, racism, singing, and so on. No one has to attend anything but usually over the weekend those who gather engage with each other and feel support and comradeship.
Saturday night is a "variety" show with stories, music, singing, and improvising. Sunday Brunch is followed by a group picture, a chance to plan for the next Gathering, and a closing circle.
Most guys are amazed at the energy that comes from the weekend and take that with them to their everyday world, renewed and often more interested in building community back home.
