The goal of the Conscious Aging and Community Connections Program is to bring people in our community together to get to know one another at a deeper level and to encourage one another to live our best possible lives.
The Conscious Aging and Community Connections Program is held on the second Monday of each month from 2-4pm. This program is sponsored by Pine Grove Community House which allows us to keep admission at $ 5 per session. All money received goes directly to Pine Grove.
Everyone is welcome to join us Monday, March 11, 2-4pm when the founders of North Coast End of Life Collective will offer a presentation about their history, vision, mission, values, and services. The North Coast EOL Collective is recognized for its compassionate approach and collective expertise in end-of-life options, care and resources. We will explore and practice how to have honest and thoughtful conversations with health providers, ensuring we are seen and heard.
Please join us for this presentation, where we will explore the intersection of conscious aging and end-of-life preparedness as a collective approach to death and dying.
At our February session we talked about resources in the area. Our team has revised the lists, including: Current ways to find out about community resources and events, Personal services and small businesses, Non-profit organizations, Public and government resources, Churches, and Activities in the area. If you would like the revised lists, please send an email to telaskinner@gmail.com and I will forward the lists to you.
