SUMMARY:Stephen Batchelor on Buddhism - Camden Philosophical Society
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Philosophical Society will take a detour from our recent discussions about The Will and Freedom to consider the path of Buddhist teachings as written by Stephen Batchelor. He is a prominent author known for his secular approach to Buddhism. With over a dozen published books\, including widely recognized titles such as Buddhism Without Beliefs (1997)\, Confession of a Buddhist Atheist (2010)\, and The Art of Solitude (2020). \n\n\n\nThe Jan. 20 session will\, as usual\, be a hybrid gathering from 3:30-5:30 pm Eastern Time on the third Tuesday of the month. All are welcome to participate\, in-person at the Picker Room of the Camden Public Library or by Zoom. That goes for visitors\, as well as year-rounders in Maine\, and friends of the Society wherever you may be. \n\n\n\nIf you wish to join via Zoom\, please email sewright772@gmail.com. You will receive a Zoom invitation on the day of the meeting. Click on the “Join Zoom Meeting” link in that invitation at the time of the event \n\n\n\nBatchelor’s appeal lies with his ability to present Buddhist teachings in a highly approachable and applicable manner to our modern life. In fact\, Batchelor’s newest book\, Buddha\, Socrates and Us\, illuminates the significant ways in which questions and uncertainty and doubt\, as Socrates presented as a means to living an “examined life”\, are central to both Western and Eastern frameworks.  \n\n\n\nBatchelor shows how the Western imbued metaphysical interpretation of Buddhism is too narrowly understood to be considered “useful” in our 21st century culture but that when its teachings are understood as guidance in developing our reactions and interactions on a day to day experience\, then we begin to find possibilities in the application of these teachings. While giving us insight into the Buddha  (aka Siddhartha Guatama/Gotama) prior to enlightenment and the teachings of Socrates\, Batchelorbrings “the two together\, in a way\, to recognize the humanity that constitutes their being.”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe primary reading will be a transcript from an interview with Stephen Batchelor from the Tricycle Talks podcast episode #132\, “Ethical Living in Uncertain Times”\, which can be read here. \n\n\n\nThe remaining two are supplemental but you may find helpful as additional material explaining more of Batchelor’s thinking. A podcast & transcript from The Ezra Klein Show can be found here. a sample of Batchelor’s newest book\, “Buddha\, Socrates and Us”  (Page 1-20) can be found here.

In 1955\, when Sharon was 10\, her father purchased a former boys’ camp and the family moved from Connecticut to the old farmhouse on her current property. For the next six years\, Sharon and her family lived the country life\, learning about nature\, raising livestock\, and growing bountiful gardens. In 1961\, the family moved to Brunswick. \n\n\n\nAlthough the farm stayed in the family\, the house and land remained largely unoccupied until 1995 when Sharon’s son Eli built a cabin and moved to the farm. He spent the next five years (and more) restoring the land\, using low-impact methods to manage the woodlands and reclaim open spaces for buildings\, fields\, and gardens. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2004\, Eli built a cabin for Sharon and the seed for Crystal Lake Farm & Nursery was planted. For the past 20 years\, mother and son have worked together to build their business and act as stewards of this small piece of Maine.

SUMMARY:Explorations Read-Aloud: "The Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Orczy
DESCRIPTION:Every Friday\, at 11:00 am\, on the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page\, the library will stream a brand new recording of local thespian\, Joseph Coté reading aloud selections from a wide variety of fascinating and entertaining books of fiction and non-fiction. \n\n\n\nFor February 13\, Coté will read aloud from Baroness Orczy’s The Scarlet Pimpernel. \n\n\n\nA timeless novel of adventure\, intrigue\, and romance is sparked by one man’s defiance in the face of authority… \n\n\n\nThe year is 1792. The French Revolution\, driven to excess by its own triumph\, has turned into a reign of terror. Daily\, tumbrels bearing new victims to the guillotine roll over the cobbled streets of Paris.… Thus the stage is set for one of the most enthralling novels of historical adventure ever written. The mysterious figure known as the Scarlet Pimpernel\, sworn to rescue helpless men\, women\, and children from their doom; his implacable foe\, the French agent Chauvelin\, relentlessly hunting him down; and lovely Marguerite Blakeney\, a beautiful French exile married to an English lord and caught in a terrible conflict of loyalties—all play their parts in a suspenseful tale that ranges from the squalid slums of Paris to the aristocratic salons of London\, from intrigue on a great English country estate to the final denouement on the cliffs of the French coast. \n\n\n\nClick the links to find the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThoughts to share?

SUMMARY:"Refugees in the Middle East and North Africa: The Politics and Lived Experiences of Displacement" with Professor Nadia El-Shaarawi (Camden Conference Community Event)
DESCRIPTION:The Camden Public Library\, as a part of the Camden Conference Community Events Series\, welcomes Professor Nadia El-Shaarawi for a presentation on Thursday\, February 12\, at 6:30 PM in the Picker Room. \n\n\n\nThere are more than 123 million people displaced in the world today\, many of whom hail from\, or live in\, the Middle East and North Africa. Why has this region experienced so much forced migration and what is the significance of these many layered movements?  \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Nadia El-Shaarawi will discuss the contours of displacement in and from the region\, with a focus on the politics of displacement and its effects on the people who live through it. We will explore histories of forced migration as well as the context and implications of displacement today.  \n\n\n\nWhile we will ground our conversation in the Middle East and North Africa\, we will also consider the relationships between migration and displacement in that region and US and global politics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNadia El-Shaarawi is author of the book Collateral Damages: Tracing the Debts and Displacements of the Iraq War\, published this year by University of California Press. This book\, based on long term ethnographic fieldwork with Iraqi refugees in Cairo\, Egypt\, seeks to tell a different story of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq and the mass displacement it caused\, one that centers the stories and experiences of Iraqis. \n\n\n\nThe book critically examines the war as well as the humanitarian process of third-country refugee resettlement\, which international organizations and states hold up as one solution to displacement. She is also the co-editor\, with Stéphanie Larchanché\, of Migration and Health: Challenging the Borders of Care\, Belonging\, and Policy (Berghahn Books). \n\n\n\nNadia teaches classes on displacement\, migration\, borders\, humanitarianism\, and health in Global Studies and Anthropology at Colby College. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is presented in anticipation of the 39th Annual Camden Conference\, “Today’s Middle East: Power\, Politics\, & Players” taking place live from the Camden Opera House from February 20 – 22\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Resilient Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:We humans\, and the rest of the planet\, exist in a tightly bound web of interconnections. These intersections are both our solution/salvation—it will take each and everyone of us working together to create a better world—and paradoxically it’s also these tightly bound systems that  are also causing the challenging conditions—droughts\, wildfires\, heat waves\, human migrations\, extreme weather\, biodiversity loss\, ocean acidification\, etc.— of our our current climate-changed world. \n\n\n\nIf you’d like to get a better understanding of these interconnections\, meet other curious and engaged Midcoast residents\, and find ways to not only remain resilient during the upcoming decades\, CamdenCAN would like to invite you to join us for our Resilient Reading Group. \n\n\n\nThe reading group meets on second and fourth Tuesday afternoons\, 4:00 – 5:00 PM at Camden Public Library in the Picker Room. If you have questions or would like to participate\, please email camdencan2025@gmail.com.  \n\n\n\nThe ultimate goal of these book discussions is to inform as well as expand one another’s understandings of the moment we are living in. One of the greatest actions to take to improve our current situation is to talk about it\, as well as forge new alliances and build community. Come join us—let’s see what we can do to thrive in these challenging times.

SUMMARY:"Using Hardscape" with Emma Kelly — Camden Garden Club Winter Horticulture Series (Hybrid\, Registration Required)
DESCRIPTION:2026 Winter Horticulture Series: Re-Visioning Your Garden: Talks about Landscape DesignPresented by the Camden Garden ClubIn Collaboration with Camden Public Library\n\n\n\n\nView all Winter Horticulture Series programs\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrograms take place on Tuesday mornings from January 27 – February 24. Join us in-person in the Picker Room at Camden Public Library\, or watch virtually on Zoom. Coffee and refreshments will be served in the Picker Room starting at 10:00 AM. Each program starts at 10:30 AM.  \n\n\n\nTuesday\, February 10: “Using Hardscape” with Emma Kelly\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmma Kelly will talk about how to use hardscape to complement and enhance the natural beauty of our yards.  \n\n\n\nEmma’s work is driven by a joyful embrace of the design process – from site investigation to team collaboration\, from sketch exploration to successful implementation. She’s a fierce advocate for place-specific design and team-built success.  \n\n\n\nEmma’s projects find her interacting with complex networks of design and engineering professionals\, local craftsmen\, and regionally-sourced materials. Emma sees her role as steering a creative conversation with clients and properties to building unique landscapes that fit unique goals.  \n\n\n\nPracticing primarily in Maine and focusing on residential landscapes\, Emma believes deeply in the power of place-making: the ability to shape the spaces around us into crucibles for future meaning and memories. \n\n\n\nRegister to save your spot in-person OR on Zoom!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to attend IN-PERSON\n\n\n\nRegister to attend ON ZOOM\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCamden Garden Club relies on donations and memberships to support educational programming\, maintain gardens around town\, and fund the college scholarships awarded annually. Your support of this work is greatly appreciated. Thank you on behalf of the Camden Garden Club! \n\n\n\n\nSupport Camden Garden Club\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn her first 10 years of professional practice\, Emma honed her technical and managerial skills on large-scale environmental-\, public-\, and institutionally-focused projects throughout the US with Hargreaves Associates\, and moved to more intimately scaled regionally-sensitive and context-specific design working with Richardson & Associates. In 2013\, Emma formed Emma Kelly Landscape LLC as an exciting new outlet for her passion and her recent work can be seen in publications such as Maine Home & Design and the Boston Globe Magazine. Even more recently\, Emma launched ColLab\, a collaborating laboratory of five independent\, women-owned landscape architecture practices working on projects throughout the Northeast.  As a founding principal of this groundbreaking new organization\, Emma is eager to capture the synergy of working with stellar peers who can drive the creative focus of projects further and support even more complex and far-reaching project needs. \n\n\n\nEmma received her master’s degree in Landscape Architecture\, with distinction\, from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University\, as well as her undergraduate degree in Cultural Anthropology and Religion. She has shared her love of design and the design process through studio instructor\, visiting critic\, and design jury roles at design and horticultural programs from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design to Southern Maine Community College. \n\n\n\nImage credit: Emma Kelly Landscape

SUMMARY:Explorations Read-Aloud: "Our Evenings" by Alan Hollinghurst
DESCRIPTION:Every Friday\, at 11:00 am\, on the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page\, the library will stream a brand new recording of local thespian\, Joseph Coté reading aloud selections from a wide variety of fascinating and entertaining books of fiction and non-fiction. \n\n\n\nFor February 6\, Coté will read aloud from Alan Hollinghurst’s Our Evenings. \n\n\n\nDave Win\, the son of a Burmese man he’s never met and a British dressmaker\, is thirteen years old when he gets a scholarship to a top boarding school. With the doors of elite English society cracked open for him\, heady new possibilities emerge\, even as Dave is exposed to the envy and viciousness of his wealthy classmates.Alan Hollinghurst’s new novel follows Dave from the 1960s on—through the possibilities that remained open for him\, and others that proved to be illusory: as a working-class brown child in a decidedly white institution; a young man discovering queer culture and experiencing his first\, formative love affairs; a talented but often overlooked actor\, on the road with an experimental theater company; and an older Londoner whose late-in-life marriage fills his days with an unexpected sense of happiness and security.From “one of our most gifted writers” (The Boston Globe)\, Our Evenings sweeps readers from our past to our present through the beauty\, pain\, and joy of one deeply observed life. \n\n\n\nClick the links to find the library’s YouTube Channel and Facebook Page. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThoughts to share?

SUMMARY:“Why Digestive Symptoms Don’t Start in the Gut” with Charlene Orne and Deb Czuchra
DESCRIPTION:Deb Czuchra\, NP-BC\, AFMC and Charlene Orne\, PA-C\, AFMC of Telson Health lead a lively\, educational discussion on how digestion is influenced by stress\, motility\, and overall body function. This program takes place in-person and on Zoom on Thursday\, February 5\, at 6:30 PM. \n\n\n\nThis talk explores why common symptoms such as bloating\, IBS\, constipation\, and diarrhea are so prevalent\, and how functional medicine looks at digestive health differently. \n\n\n\nAttendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how digestion works and practical insights they can apply right away. \n\n\n\nThis program takes place in person\, and will also be streamed live on Zoom. To attend virtually\, register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zY0U_mxoQhO8PWlKBkvawg \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCharlene Orne\, PA-C\, AFMC\, and Deb Czuchra\, NP-BC\, AFMC are integrative practitioners with more than five decades of combined experience in conventional and integrative care.  \n\n\n\nTrained through the School of Applied Functional Medicine\, they specialize in helping adults understand digestive\, hormonal\, metabolic\, and stress-related patterns that often underlie persistent symptoms.  \n\n\n\nTheir work emphasizes whole-body physiology\, integration\, and clear interpretation—helping people understand how their bodies function and guiding them as they move forward with greater confidence in their health.
