Games Group - cards and board games
Memoir Writing - Dede has offered to lead this
Meditate in Nature - not your traditional meditation; instead use quiet walks in the forest sitting by ocean, etc. as a form of meditation.
Goal Accountability: one-on-one partnering or group check-ins to keep you on track for a goal you have set for your self, whether it is fitness or another type of goal.
Morning Check-ins - partner one-on-one for a daily check-in to make sure all is well.
Symphony & Concert Group
Men's Group
Stronger Memory - a curriculum designed to stimulate the brain's prefrontal cortex, which governs our ability to retrieve memories. Participants spend just 20 to 30 minutes a day engaged in simple reading, writing and math activities. The StrongerMemory program is currently available in a workbook of exercises. Stronger Memory Website
