Register for Radical Nourishment Workshop #2: Aquatic Harvest

Tender Table & The Southern Maine Workers' Center are hosting a fishing workshop led by Winston Antoine at the Androscoggin Land Trust on Sunday, o Nov. 5 from 10:30 AM-4:00 PM. Register below!

It’s been a whole summer season since the Radical Nourishment series kicked off with the Good Soil Garden in June, and we’re excited to share news about our fall workshop!

Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower invites us to be bold in our visions of equitable living in a wounded world. And we’re thrilled to invite you to help us expand that vision here at home through Radical Nourishment: Food, Soul & Community for the Future, a series of gatherings designed by and for BIPOC organizers to deepen our connections with each other, our relationship with the land around us, and the power we need to survive and transform the conditions we are rooted in.

You are invited to Aquatic Harvest, a fishing workshop at Camp Gustin in Sabattus, ME, on Sunday, Nov. 5 from 10:30am-4pm. We’ll learn all the steps of fishing from Tony Antoine, a soon-to-be certified Maine master naturalist and a lifelong fisher and crabber who uses fishing to connect to the outdoors and his family lineage. We’ll also talk about the ancestral origins of fishing knowledge, our relationships to ancestors through land and water, the challenges of connecting– and how it all relates to the Parables and our struggles for a just world today. Register here!

You don’t need any prior knowledge of fishing or Parable of the Sower to join us. Accessible accommodations and rides to the location are available. Fishing supplies, lunch, and childcare will be provided. 

This project is a collaboration between Tender Table & the Southern Maine Workers’ Center, and part of Parable Path, a framework for community organizing and artistic engagement based on Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower. This initiative is led by multi-hyphenate musician Toshi Reagon, Bowdoin College’s Joseph McKeen 2022-23 Visiting Fellow, and is supported by Maine Humanities Council, Indigo Arts Alliance and Bowdoin College.

Accessible accommodations are available and rides will be provided to locations, along with tools, food, and childcare. 

These events are for BIPOC only.

Do you have your own fishing supplies to bring? We'll need fishing poles, line, and bait/lures. If you can bring your own or bring some to share, please let us know which item(s) and how many.
