Garden Wellness Café Summer Series (ONLINE) |
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. We’ll start each week by awakening our senses through some gentle seated movements to get our bodies warmed up. We’ll introduce the week’s theme through poetry, art, and a short photo slideshow. We’ll also engage in a group chat, demonstrate a weekly hands-on activity that you can try at home, and encourage participants to document their seasonal discoveries in their nature journals. Join our facilitator, Emma Rooney, as we celebrate the start of summer, take a closer look at garden soil, make our own flower arrangements, and taste local flavors in the garden kitchen. 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 WellnessCafe 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. Dates and Time: Biweekly on WEDNESDAYS: June 22, July 6, July 20 and August 3 (4 weeks) from 10:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M. Be sure to check out our NEW Summer Gardening Q & A with Emma taking place June 8th from 10:00 - 11:15 A.M. on Zoom.
