IRS990/Desc0The Good Life Gap Semester (Fall 2024): A semester study away program for college age students. We hosted 23 students for an 11 week program. Students received 10 college credits for completing three college courses during our program via our agreement with University of Maine Farmington. The courses offered were: The Good Life (4 credits in Philosophy or Religious Studies) and The Good Life for All (4 Credits in English) and The Creative Life (2 credits). In addition to the academic aspect of the program, students participated in immersive experiences in nature, mindfulness practices and learned to use visuals to capture ideas and facilitate dialog.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The Good Life Gap Semester (Spring 2025):A semester-study-away program for college-age students. We hosted approximately students for a 10-week program (February through April) on our 60-acre campus in the coastal woodlands of Maine. Students earned 10 college credits (via our agreement with the University of Maine at Farmington) for completing three college courses: The Good Life (4 credits in Philosophy/Religious Studies), The Good Life for All (4 credits in English), and The Creative Life (2 credits). In addition to the academic component, students lived in intentional community, immersed themselves in nature, practiced mindfulness, participated in food-life and creative-arts projects, and used visuals and dialog to deepen connection and understanding.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0January Art Residency:A 15-day program for alumni of Seguinland Institute for 6 alumni artists. The program combined: (1) roughly 20 hours per week of self-directed studio work guided by Seguinland faculty, culminating in a final project presentation; and (2) roughly 20 hours per week working in one of several mentored tracks at our community partner, The Chocolate Church. In addition, participants lived communally (shared cottages and studio space), took part in shared meals and weekly potlucks, and strengthened creative practice, community-building skills and place-based art engagement.
