Giants: Creating From The Void
Maine Audubon Gilsland Farm Center
Giants are featured in many of the world’s creation myths. The stories say that the Earth herself was created from The Void by these awesome, primordial beings. From the Greeks to the Celts to the Norse/Germanic peoples -- our ancestors told stories of these fierce spirits that were able to create matter and manifest the physical world out of Chaos. These ancient beings are even mentioned in the Old Testament: "There were giants in the earth in those days....” For many cultures, the giants are considered to be the progenitors of human beings -- in other words, our most ancient spiritual ancestors. In this workshop, we’ll explore connections with the Giants for the purpose of entering into a powerful and creative relationship. Joining forces with them, we can manifest a happier, healthier and more abundant life! Prerequisite: Working knowledge of the Shamanic Journey Process. $200 • Send $50 deposit to: PO Box 426, Yarmouth, Maine 04096 with your name and address!

Caribbean Birding Trip With Maine Audubon!
Asa Wright Nature Center and Lodge
Based at a world-renowned, 200-acre wildlife sanctuary in Trinidad's rain-forested northern mountain range, and at the charming Blue Waters Inn in Tobago, birders will travel to several unique natural areas on both islands. While sipping your morning coffee or afternoon rum punch on the verandah you may not even need binoculars to see 25 to 30 species visit the feeding station. Excursions to view red-bellied macaw, scarlet ibis, oilbird and common potoo are highlights. On Tobago, your days combine swimming, snorkeling and cruising in the glass-bottomed boat. Daily birding targets species such as red-billed tropicbird, red-footed and brown boobies, manakins, jacamars, honeycreepers and more.

Newfoundland: In the Footsteps of the Vikings
A Natural and Cultural History Journey with Maine Audubon
Walk in the footsteps of the New World's first peoples and explore the home of the first Viking explorers. This exciting holiday starts and ends in Deer Lake, Newfoundland, and explores the nature and geology of the country's western coast. Gros Morne National Park, a United Nations World Heritage Site; L'Anse aux Meadows, North America's only known Viking settlement; and Red Bay, the Labrador home of over 1,500 Basque whalers during the 1540s, are some of the highlights of this unique vacation. This trip also features the northern terminus of the Appalachian Mountains, many birds and wildlife, a Viking feast, and a short journey to the “center of the Earth” (hills formed by the uplift of a deep portion of the Earth's crust). Enjoy Newfoundlanders, their culture, and landscape on this unforgettable holiday as they celebrate the 1,109th anniversary of the Vikings walking our shores. Bob Bittenbender and Margi Huber, hosts. • Advance registration is necessary! • Maine Audubon, 20 Gilsland Farm Road, Falmouth, Maine 04105 • 207-781-2330, ext. 215
