Our weekly virtual classes for older adults employ adaptive ballet/modern techniques. They are specially designed to promote social/emotional/physical fitness and artistic expression while catering to older adults' interests and needs. These classes provide a welcoming and supportive environment where older adults can explore the joy of dance, regardless of previous experience. These classes can be taken standing or seated. Class Highlights include: 1. Adaptive techniques: We adapt ballet and modern and yoga dance principles to accommodate various mobility levels, making it accessible to everyone. 2. Gentle warm-up to prepare the body for movement. 3. Technique and Creative Expression 4. Balance and Strength exercises 5. Community and fun! 

Course Note: Since this course seeks to accommodate all participants, it is essential that students make it possible for the instructor to provide feedback. It is useful for participants to leave their Zoom camera on so the instructor can most effectively guide and encourage participants. 

 

“Know your nature. Know your strength. Know who you are — and be that.” - Prem Rawat 

The Peace Education Program (PEP) supports this discovery, of gaining access to one’s own inner strengths and resources, so this knowledge of self may be recognized. This 6-week course, featuring a media-based peace education program created by The Prem Rawat Foundation, allows you to discover your inner resources such as peace, appreciation, inner strength, self-awareness, choice, hope, and contentment, among others. Using provided digital workbooks, the facilitators involve participants with insightful talks, activities, and meaningful interactions that explore the theme of personal peace through a process of self-discovery. 

Chair yoga is so popular now….for many reasons. One is because people can get the benefits without getting on the floor and most everyone can do it. It increases circulation, keeps the joints lubricated, promotes relaxation, helps with better breathing, works on balance and increases strength. Come reap the benefits of this practice. You can do it! 

The Beatles touring days are over.  They film Magical Mystery Tour for broadcast on BBC TV. Then travel to Rishikesh, India where they learn to meditate while composing more than two dozen songs for the “White Album”.  Conflicts arise during the making of “Let it Be”, a documentary of producing that album. The Beatles story ends with the making of “Abbey Road”. 

A legacy letter (also called an “ethical will”) is a written document that allows you to share your life lessons, express your values and transmit your blessings to future generations. A legacy letter is shorter than a memoir, typically just a few pages. Writing one is a rewarding experience that creates an enduring gift for family and friends. This four-session online course includes discussion and brief writing exercises to help you examine your life history, explore your values and capture important insights. It offers advice, encouragement and a model structure to help you draft and complete your own legacy letter.
