Mindfulness Meditation
The aging process requires us to make
dramatic adaptations to physical, mental,
emotional, and spiritual changes. Having
a skill and practice that calms the mind
and relaxes the body helps us adapt more
skillfully to these changes. Research
shows that being able to relax the body
and mind on a regular basis improves the
immune system and reduces symptoms
of hypertension. Instruction will include
mindful breathing, body awareness,
coping with pain and day-to-day stress,
and developing a stress-hardy attitude.
Weekly home practice techniques will be
given to increase mindfulness. Please wear
comfortable clothing.

Threads of Life:
Senior Support Group
It can sometimes be difficult to find
someone to talk to. Threads of Life offers
a confidential, safe and non-judgmental
forum to discuss and process problems,
changes, and transitions with a trained
professional.
Each Thread of Life brings new
challenges—some are rewarding and
pleasant, others get tangled and need
working through. Each workshop topic
includes a round-table discussion plus
a related activity. Topics may include
getting your needs met, communication,
relationships, grief and loss, and
depression and loneliness.
