CAMDEN — Quarry Hill welcomes author Brenda E. Smith to present “Terra Incognita,” Thursday, Oct. 17, at 4 p.m., at the Anderson Inn.

After decades of living a safe and predictable life, Smith ventured into the wild. Coerced to embark on a rafting trip through a vast Tanzanian game reserve, she confronted angry wildlife while gaining personal strength through a profound inner journey of transformation. Find out what is possible when you step out of your comfort zone into the wild. Smith’s book, Becoming Fearless: Finding Courage in the African Wilderness, will be available for purchase and signing.

Part of Quarry Hill’s ongoing enrichment series designed for adults aged 50 and better, the program is free, but advance registration is required. To sign up, please call Quarry Hill at 301-6116 or email qhinfo@mainehealth.org.
