Garden Wellness Cafe -Late Summer Series- Virtual
|
Biweekly on WEDNESDAYS: Aug 2, 16, 30, and September 13 (4 weeks) from 10:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M.
From the comfort of your home, you'll have a chance to meet others in a fun and supportive environment and be transported to beautiful outdoor settings through photos, art, and poetry. Join certified forest therapy guide and horticultural therapy practitioner, Emma Rooney, as we activate our five senses in the garden.
Our late summer series includes a Sunflower Festival, a chance to save your own seeds, and an opportunity to make a garden fresh tomato and basil bruschetta. We’ll start each session by awakening our senses through some gentle seated movements to get our bodies warmed up. We’ll also engage in a group chat and demonstrate a hands-on activity that you can try from home.
This program will be held on Zoom. Participants will be mailed program materials and expected to collect some simple supplies on their own (instructions provided). Garden Wellness Cafe is intended for people living with early to mid-stages of dementia, young onset dementia and mild cognitive impairment. Caregivers are invited to attend alongside a person living with dementia or to join us to get ideas for sharing nature-based exploration with the person they are supporting.
