The conscious aging and community connections program is held on the second Monday of each month from 2-4pm. Sponsorship by the Pine Grove Community House allows us to keep admission at $5 per session.
All proceeds go directly to the Pine Grove Community House.
Our overall program goals are 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. Everyone is welcome to join us!
This coming Monday, November 11, the program is Calm and Connection: Guided meditation and singing bowls to heal the tension of these times.The anxious atmosphere of this election inspires us to gather for restful, calming practices. Join us to experience a guided meditation plus a singing bowl sound bath. Meditation guided by Ali Lufkin. Singing bowls sound bath by Christy Kay.
We will have chairs set up for you. If you prefer to lie on the floor, please bring your own yoga mat and/or blanket to use.
November 11, 2 – 4pm at the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita. Please arrive before 2 as we will start promptly.
Upcoming programs:
Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, 2-4 pm, Winter Singalong. We’ll have piano accompaniment, song sheets, and hot cider. It’s also a cookie potluck for anyone who wants to bring cookies…but not at all a requirement to join in. Come raise your voices in joyful noise.
Monday January 13, 2025, 2-4pm. Here’s what we all need to have in place, for the inevitable loss of a partner or injury/illness if you live alone. From Personal Safety Nets to affordable wills to POLST forms. We’ll set up an accountability system for those who want it, to get these things done!
Our committee is busy planning future topics. From another round of “Getting to know each other,” to what Home Health and Homecare is available in the community, to Widow Scams and other Scams/Fraud, to Movement and Fall Prevention as we Age, we have many topics in process, identifying experts. We’ll send out announcements as they get finalized.
If you have suggestions for topics you’d like to explore in this group, please let us know. Contact Kathie Hightower at kathiejhightower@gmail.com
We, the members of the conscious living and community connections team, are so very grateful to be part of this wonderful community!
