PAST EVENTS
2025 Cold Water Dip
That was a COLD day said Patty Libby in sending a photo from Maine Sea Sisters, and Liz Cutler noted in sending hers that it took Cold Tits Warm Hearts the ladies two hours to create the heart from foot-thick ice.
But they did it, along with Erja Lipponen’s world adventure touring group Wander Women in a sauna/dip in Union, Amy Hopkins’ Saltwater Mountain Co. at York Harbor Beach, Wicked Nippy Dippahs and Flock of Seagals at Rockport Harbor, Stone Cold Dippers in Stonington, Blue Loons of Blue Hill and Cold Moon Selkies at Naskeag Point in Brooklin when the storm was still raging.
Donations are still coming in, with $1,600 just from the GoFundMe Sarah Havener of Brooklin set up for us.
Every penny from this community- and sisterhood-building fundraiser is going to bring warmth to Maine women domestic violence victims/survivors with critical (storage unit fees, utility bills, home security devices, shelter, car, legal costs.
And on Super Bowl Sunday when violence against women spikes, and on the Sunday before Valentine’s Day.
THIS is the real kind of love!!

Actor Gabriel Byrne Lifts Voice for Finding Our Voices to Tune of $20,000.00!

Gabriel’s ode to Finding Our Voices in comments to the audience at his sold-out event for us on March 9.
“The work that Patrisha does here and her personal journey towards finding her own voice is absolutely inspirational. She went from a position of being powerless in silence and shame like every person who has ever experienced this awful form of abuse and she turned it into something that is by day by the day spreading all over Maine.
There's a sense of collective pride in being part of something that truly helps in a really visceral, real way for people who are suffering amongst us. And the bravery, the courage that it takes to lift that phone and ask for help is enormous. To lift that phone is the greatest act of courage people in that awful situation can do, but lives are changed by that moment.
And we all here tonight, every single one of us, every dollar has contributed to that and I would just love to say that you know Patrisha said to me that it's nice of me to be here –- it's an honor for me to be asked to be here and I'm really proud of the work that she's doing and that this little part of the world is open to that, and that it will go out from Maine across America, because the model that she's using is a universal model. And this particular illness in society is worldwide, it's everywhere, and it's up to people like us to try to change it in however small a way that we need possibly can.”
