Home Sweet Sauna

It’s no secret that saunas can reduce stress, improve physical health and relieve pain. The Maine winter has inspired a range of sauna experiences, but for some avid bathers, there’s just no place like home.

Kitchen Table Wisdom

Are you croissant-curious? Want to expand your repertoire of plant-based meals? Have a yen for quality sushi but wince at restaurant prices? At these Maine cooking classes, learn new skills, hone old ones, and experience firsthand the tastes, fragrances and fellowship to be found in teaching kitchens.

Save the Date: Saturday, April 5^th in South Portland, Maine

Get inspired to create your dream home at the Green Home + Energy Show!
