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.
Next EVENT:
Monday, May 13, 2-4 pm join us for a presentation by Kathie Hightower, on Awe/Delight/Joy/Savoring: Why it’s SO important, especially now, and ways to add these experiences into your daily life. Believe it or not, researchers have done extensive research studies on Awe and Joy and Savoring. Join us to learn why these topics matter to you, especially as we age, and learn simple exercises to add more of these into your own daily life. Let’s choose the antidote to the current negative news spiral. Choose Joy. Here’s how.
Kathie dove into this subject many years ago and in fact published a small book on Simple Joys. She returned to study more current research to prepare this presentation for you. Kathie spent many years traveling the world, doing keynotes and workshops on topics like Jump Into Life, and Joyful Living. This is a mini-presentation.
DON’T FORGET: Bring a pen and a book or magazine to write on…we’ll have handouts ready for you to fill in.
Doors open at 145. Program starts right at 2pm.
