WINTHROP — Sherri Mitchell will be the guest speaker at the MLK Speaker Breakfast, to be held 10 a.m. to noon Monday, Jan. 15, at St. Francis Xavier Church, Route 133.
The Martin Luther King Day breakfast, which is free and open to the public, is hosted by the Winthrop Area Ministerial Association and the Capital Area Multifaith Association, and will focus on the healing of relationships in our homes, communities nation and world.
A continental breakfast will be provided. The morning will include a time to engage in conversation in small groups.
Mitchell is a Penobscot woman who is an indigenous rights attorney, activist and teacher. She speaks and teaches around the world on topics ranging from Indigenous Rights, Environmental Justice, Spiritual Activism and the Indigenous Way of Life. Her writing has been featured in numerous anthologies and publications. She has recently completed her first book, “Sacred Instructions.”
In the book foreword, Larry Dossey writes: “In the pages of Sacred Instructions, you will encounter Mitchell’s elegant vision of how we can restore our broken relationships with one another and with the Earth itself. Her vision is intensely practical, in the tradition of her Penobscot ancestors who lived in intimate relationship with the natural world every moment of their lives.”
The breakfast is being sponsored by state Sen. Shenna Bellows, D- Manchster; state Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta; state Rep. Matthew Pouliot, R- Augusta, state Rep. Craig Hickman, D-Winthrop and state Rep. Charlotte Warren, D-Hallowell.
