SUMMARY:Lexington Interfaith Thanksgiving Service
DESCRIPTION:Lexington Neighbors\, we hope to see you at our Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service!  Join us on Sunday\, November 24\, at 3 pm at First Parish\, Unitarian Universalist – 7 Harrington Road. We will receive an offering to support the Lexington Interfaith Food Pantry. A reception will follow the service. \n  \nOur theme this year is “Still Aspiring.” We will look at our shared history in Lexington as we get ready for Lex250 – and we will ask what we Still Aspire to be and do as an interfaith community.  A combined choir will lift grateful songs\, and a wide range of speakers will offer reflections.  People of all faiths and people who don’t identify with any faith tradition are warmly invited. \n  \nThe Lexington Interfaith Thanksgiving service is a longstanding tradition with deep importance this year.  The Lexington Interfaith Community Association (LICA) is committed to building up respectful relationships among people of many faiths\, backgrounds\, and commitments.  We don’t always do this perfectly but we aspire to model compassionate understanding within our community.  In a moment of anxiety and polarization in the US\, kind friendships are a blessing locally.  You can make new friends and deepen your connections with your neighbors at this gathering.  Please come! \n  \nQuestions about the service can be sent to admin@fplex.org. \n  \nIf you’d like to contribute online to the offering\, you can use the QR code on the poster\, or visit https://first-parish-in-lexington.square.site/product/special-collection-lexington-interfaith-clergy-association-lica-/58  \n  \nI look forward to seeing all of you at First Parish\, on November 24 at 3 pm. \n  \nBlessings and Peace\, \n  \nRev. Reebee Kavich Girash \nLICA President 2024-2025 \nPastor\, Pilgrim Church

SUMMARY:Film on Communes to Play at Lexington Venue
DESCRIPTION:Far Out: Life On & After the Commune\, an 85-minute documentary tells the story of two rural New England communal farms. The film will show on Thursday\, December 5th at the Lexington Venue\, 1794 Massachusetts Ave at 7 PM. The screening will include a discussion with director Charles Light and Patty Carpenter\, who composed and performed most of the original music. The film also has music from Jackson Browne\, Bonnie Raitt\, Graham Nash\, John Hall\, Pete Seeger\, Country Joe McDonald\, Jesse Colin Young\, James Taylor\, Carly Simon\, and others. \nThe story begins in the summer of 1968\, in the middle of a left-wing faction fight\, when a group of radical journalists from Liberation News Service (LNS) left New York City for the country. They founded two communes–at Packer Corners in Guilford\, VT\, and in Montague\, MA. \nAfter leaving the city and turning away from national politics\, the group of mostly young city slickers became pioneers in the back-to-the-land and organic farming movement. With the help of their neighbors\, they spent the first five years learning rudimentary agricultural skills as well as how to live and work with each other as a communal family. \nIn 1973 when the local utility proposed a giant twin nuclear plant four miles from the Montague Farm\, they became active opponents. In a dramatic act of civil disobedience\, Sam Lovejoy\, from the Montague Farm\, toppled a 500-foot weather tower on the planned nuclear site. He turned himself in\, and after a trial where he represented himself and drew national attention\, was acquitted. \nSubsequently\, the group became leaders in the burgeoning No Nukes movement–from the battles over the Seabrook nuclear plant to Diablo Canyon in California and scores of reactor sites in between. In 1979\, they teamed up with Jackson Browne\, Bonnie Raitt\, John Hall\, Graham Nash\, and other committed rock stars to help produce five nights of sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden and a 250\,000-person rally in New York City. \nThe Packer Corners farm also returned to politics\, aiding in the anti-nuclear fight\, but also by engaging with the local community through producing outdoor plays such as Midsummer Night’s Dream\, Alice in Wonderland\, and The Tempest. \nFresh from a month-long run at the Latchis Theater in Brattleboro which set a 25-year record for single-night sales at over 500 and came in second to only Barbie\, in the past five years\, for total ticket sales\, Far Out played for over a month in Brattleboro. It played to a sold-out house at the Newburyport Film Festival where it was awarded “Best New England Feature” and theatrical showings have taken place in Montpelier and Burlington in Vermont\, Greenfield\, Massachusetts\, and Peterboro and Keene\, New Hampshire. Theatrical shows will be taking place in Turners Falls\, MA\, Kittery\, ME\, Essex\, Greensboro\, and Bellows Falls\, VT\, and a week-long run in Hartford\, CT. \nBlending contemporary interviews and a remarkable trove of original archival footage\, Far Out is lively\, humorous\, inspiring\, and irreverent. The point of view is honest rather than nostalgic. The film is vital\, telling the history but hewing to the universal themes of how we grapple–over a lifetime–with politics\, relationships\, morality\, spirituality\, civic engagement\, and finding our home. \nThe movie takes advantage of an exceptional collection of archival material\, much of it produced by commune members themselves. Producers Charles Light and Daniel Keller were members of the community and filmed the nuclear battles–in titles such as Lovejoy’s Nuclear War\, The Last Resort\, and Save the Planet–as well as many hours of daily life at the farms. Far Out also uses material from other professional filmmakers\, notably Alan Dater and John Scagliotti’s The Stuff of Dreams\, Robbie Leppzer’s Seabrook ’77\, Nora Jacobson and Alan Dater’s The Vermont Movie\, and Barbara Kopple and Danny Goldberg’s No Nukes. \nFar Out documents communal life in the ‘70s with footage shot by Harry Saxman and Don McLean and photos by Peter Simon and others. Books by commune members (among the many: Ray Mungo’s\, Famous Long Ago and Total Loss Farm; Steve Diamond’s What the Trees Said; Verandah Porche’s\, The Body’s Symmetry; Harvey Wasserman’s\, History of the US; Peter Gould’s Burnt Toast; Tom Fels\, Farm Friends; Marty Jezeers\, The Dark Ages; and Verandah and Patty Carpenter’s music album\, Come Over as well as the group’s Home Comfort)\, and the poetry\, visual art\, plays\, and music that the farms produced adds detail. \nThe film traces fifty years in the lives of this group of New England writers\, activists\, and artists. It conveys not only how these “hippies” transformed Vermont and western Massachusetts\, but also how rural life and the people they met changed them.
