It was wonderful to meet and hear from the 35 community members who attended our first session, Oct. 9 at Pine Grove Community House. Attendees shared heartfelt thoughts and feelings about life in our community, conscious living and what they are most passionate about at this time in their lives.

Attendees also let us know which topics they would like to have us cover in upcoming months. Based on that, at our next session, Monday, November 13, 2-4pm, we’ll hold a conversation about two related popular topics: How to Live Our Best Possible Lives and Finding and Living Your Passion in Late Life. Before then we’ll be in touch with possible questions to ponder.

Here are some of the other topics we plan to feature with conversations, or led by experts on the subject, at our second Monday of the month sessions:
Green Burials *
Traversing the Edge Between Doing and Being combined with the topic, Finding Meaning and Happiness with Physical Limitations
Creating a Compassionate Community including Sharing Resources and How we might Expand Diversity
Health: Exercise, Movement, Self Care, Getting a Good Night’s Sleep
A Conversation About Death and Dying: Discussing Our Own Mortality
Leaving a Legacy
Spiritual Practices and Our Relationship with the Transcendent
Health: What is Normal Aging? and What are the Signs of Stroke, Heart Attack and Dementia *
Books about Aging and Dying. Possible Author Readings *
* Expert in the field will be invited to lead the session.

If you were unable to attend last week, but have suggestions for topics, please let us know.

Upcoming events in the area:
Wed. Oct. 18th, 4pm: Hoffman Center, a free author reading. The book is The Gift of Aging: Growing Older with Purpose, Planning and Positivity, by authors Marcy Houle and Elizabeth Eckstrom.

When Peace Accords

Grateful beyond words,

I smile to the unseen.

I rise in darkness, eager

to awaken, gladly join

the arriving light.

When peace accords,

this sorrow and joy

are colors on a timeless

canvas, notes for songs

the trees will welcome.

Each word a whale

breaking the surface,

spray of an offshore wind.

Enough has been known.

ALSO, no matter what neighborhood you live in, if your pet doesn’t mind being dressed up, send us your pet photos for the Halloween Collage on the October page of the calendar.

FRANKENSTEIN: THE RADIO PLAY is a chilling adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel, brought to life through the power of sound and performance from the golden age of radio.

Join Captain Robert Walton and his crew as they become caught up in the story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who creates a living being out of dead flesh.
But when the creature is rejected by its creator and the world, it sets out on a path of revenge that will bring death and destruction to all who cross it.

This radio play is full of suspense, horror, and thought-provoking themes. It is a must-see for fans of classic literature and vintage radio drama.
