Everyone has a story to tell. Would you like to tell yours?
In celebration of Thanksgiving, we’re holding a storytelling night where everyone is welcome to participate.
There are just a few rules.
We can fit in seven or eight stories, so arrive early to sign up for a slot if you don’t want to miss out!
Please let me know if you have any questions or want to practice beforehand!
We look forward to a night of humor, fun, and maybe even a tear or two.
We know you have a story to tell. We hope you’ll join us to tell it.

Senior Tech meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month.
Please join us for our new discussion group. While aging is familiar to us, the concept of “Eldering” may be new. Our Eldering group is a place to talk, to share, or to just listen to what neighbors, friends, and members of our community have to say about their experiences as we grow older. The group has already come up with a great list of resources. We meet on the first Wednesday of the month from 1:00-2:30. We hope you’ll join us this month for another great conversation!
No prior experience is needed for this experience of gentle, mindful movement and deep breathing to calm the nervous system and focus the mind. Led by yoga expert Martha Williams, you’ll stretch and move while sitting in your chair with a handful of standing and balancing postures accessible to all. We’ll finish with a guided body scan that invites you to relax into the present moment, that place where true power lies.
Yoga offers many benefits, including lower blood pressure, greater strength and flexibility, improved balance, and a calmer mind. You’ll learn why yoga is more than the physical postures you see in pictures and commercials, and how you can incorporate it into your life in a way that works for you. Chair yoga can be practiced at any age. No prior experience, mats, or towels are needed. Just wear comfortable clothing, sneakers or flat shoes, and bring water to drink.
When you tap into this ancient practice you’ll learn many ways to find a more peaceful, powerful you.
