Older Adults Workshops and Events

This session will explore gratitude and its relationship with grief - not canceling it out but instead coexisting with it. Participants will learn more about the benefits of gratitude, and reflect on meaningful memories and their relationships with their loved ones. This session features an art expression activity, which includes a unique variation of a beginner's chair yoga. All materials will be provided, and no previous movement experience is required.
