For the past three years, the Relearning Place Program has been doing a lot of learning, research, and relationship building. What started as an idea with Southern Maine Conservation Collaborative’s 2019 Summer Associates, Red Fong and Lily Nygren, has become a fully-fledged program with its first public event taking place May 31-June 2, 2022 at the Ferry Beach Convention Center in Saco, ME. The Relearning Place Convening, designed and guided by a group of intergenerational, multi-racial, and intersectional individuals, will bring together Black, Indigenous, other people of color, and other folks with white privilege from across the Northeast for three days of building relationships, sharing resources, and developing cross-racial coalitions and solidarity networks.

Through our convening, we hope to articulate a collective vision of the future for our communities and our worlds.
