Maine Local Living School is a working homestead and education center. Founded in 2008 (as Koviashuvik Local Living School) our programs emphasize building regenerative relationships with the earth and each other, learning practical skills for wise living, and cultivating capacities for observation, stillness and gratitude. We do these through the Family Sustainability Stay, The Living-in-Maine Semester, School Programs and Community Programs. Participants carve, weave, wild-gather, cultivate, compost, harvest, sew, plant, thresh, winnow and construct a life that honors the limits and abundances of our places. Local Living is a process of coming to know the earth as home. For us, coming home has meant coming alive. We welcome you to join!
We give thanks for this place we call home which is the un-ceded land of the Arosaguntacook tribe of the Eastern Abanki Nation. May the future be as rich in place-based wisdom as was the past before the atrocities of colonization
