What is a Healthy Aging Community Café?

There will be a brief (15-25 min) topical introduction with ideas to frame the discussion and consider things in new ways. This will be followed by small group facilitated discussions, giving you the opportunity to share experiences and perspectives or simply listen to your peers as you feel comfortable. You have access to the presentations and relevant resource following each weeks topic.

The goal is to build spirit, mind, and body health such that all may thrive with greater purpose, connection, and well-being.

All Community Cafés are held on Tuesdays from 1 – 2pm. They are FREE and hosted on Zoom. If you are new to Zoom and would like some assistance getting started, please contact Kara Latta (see below).

✨Reclaiming Your Authentic Self

Reclaiming your authentic self is about reconnecting with the essence of who you are—the version that’s been buried under societal roles, obligations, and self-doubt. It’s not about becoming someone new; it’s about rediscovering the you that has been there all along. This is your invitation to learn, remember, and reclaim.
